Patti LuPone Gypsy ovations — Page 2

I saw her first performance at the Ravinia Festival a couple years ago- complete standing ovation the second the song finished. The whole place went nuts.

Finally saw the Broadway production at the end of October, and while there was a great deal of applause, no standing ovation. But Boyd did receive a hefty amount of entrance applause (as did Laura and Patti).

Boyd got entrance applause one of the times I saw it, which was really nice.

At what part did Laura get entrance applause? There's really no sole entrance for her when the kids "grow up." I think during the show after the Tony's people were clapping for her during the next scene when she's waking everyone up. I would've loved to be at that performance. And I assume something similar will happen closing night.

For me, the best way to tell a performer that they were incredible. Is keeping the spirit of Broadway alive, by talking about it, seeing shows, and feeling positive about being privileged to expiereince

99% PURE Stamina and Talent
1% Ego ,just for you Patti :)

I am a stage door OCD addict. But I personally think getting autographs, pictures, talking at Stage door with the actors, and standing ovations, are GREAT for both the actors and audience. But is the backdrop of showing Gratitude.

The aura of emotion is more proof than anything.

*I know there are many different views on what makes talent.
