Robbie, how about the roof of Studio 54?

I just remembered the funniest part of the dress: They had to stop at one point to fix her hair and makeup because they were taking photos. As people were swarming around her, she looked down at the woman sitting right in front of her and suddenly screamed "STOP TEXTING NOW!"--and then burst into gales of laughter. The poor woman was so rattled, and Patti kept saying to her "I'm kidding! I'm kidding!"

The only thing I didn't like was some of her banter. Her saying "I would have made a wonderful Piaf on Broadway" and "As a Julliard MFA Graduate...." Those things just made me thing "wow, she's full of herself" when in reality she was totally sweet and nice. She hung around for hours after the show talking and chatting with ppl in the room.

Patti, what are you doing? Of COURSE the woman was so rattled.
When I see the phrase "the ____ estate", I imagine a vast mansion in the country full of monocled men and high-collared women receiving letters about productions across the country and doing spit-takes at whatever they contain. -Kad

Ripped, Robbie, or Reg (is that Mark Ravenhill's new play) -- or anyone who's been in the space -- can you explain something about the seating for me? When I go online, the tickets offered are either for table seating or bar seating. What is the difference, aside from the obvious? I guess maybe what I'm asking is, what's the setup and is there a benefit to table seating over bar seating other than, presumably, having a seat with a back vs. not?

The way the room is set up, all the table seats are aligned facing the stage, much like a theater (except they're, you know, tables). As noted, the room is small, so all the seats are good.

The bar is over to house right, through a curtained opening. so basically you'd be seeing the stage from a fairly oblique angle. Though even then, the bar isn't all that far away, and the sound I imagine would be more or less the same.

If you got a bar seat, I don't think you'd feel as though you missed anything. You're just not as close to the stage.

But it is different than, say, Joe's Pub, where the bar is essentially behind the tables, so you're all facing the stage the same way. Here the bar is off to the side.

Okay, fantastic. That's a big help. Maybe that's clearer somewhere on the site, but I didn't have a chance to really explore it. And if it's not, they should make it clear.

Thanks, Reg. I'm jealous of all younz who got to see Patti.

I'm glad everyone had a wonderful time!

I'd say the bottom line (oh, remember the Bottom Line?) is: If you want to see her and there are only bar seats left--or if that's more in line with your budget--I'd definitely say go for it. She's great, the room is beautiful, and you'll have a great time.

I had to Google the Bottom Line!

No, unfortunately -- or probably fortunately -- my restrictions are time and place.

I'm coming to the city at the end of the month, when BdJ will be on.

There are shows I'd like to see that are closing soon, too, so a shorter weekend trip before then would be great, but my schedule is not looking good for that right now.

I hope none of you (who went to the dress) is the guy who sat directly in front of her AND YAWNED through her entire set.

Ms. LuPone didn't say anything to you. You're lucky you're alive.

If anyone has an extra ticket to sell for any date/time, please let me know!

I've been derailed with an eye injury and completely forgot to book this!

Sorry, probably a stupid question: but do table seats have an actual seat location, or is it first come first serve? More to the point, are "Bar Seats" (as I believe my tickets are) GA at the bar or do all tickets say "Bar Seats." (Again, stupid question but I am praying for the latter!)

I don't know the answer to that. But I imagine it's general seating (though I'm sure the performer can request certain tables be blocked off for certain guests).

I'm at 54 Beliw right now and this place is gorgeous! If anyone is wondering my tickets were for a table and when we arrived we were assigned a table by the hostess. This place is so small, there really is no bad seat.

Is the show worth seeing if you saw her with Mandy?

I heard her encore tonight was "Everything's Coming Up Roses!"

And during "Nights of Broadway" there is rainbow lights everywhere, even behind the bar. It's pretty awesome, and I'd recommend the show to anyone no matter where your seat is. She's great at playing to all sides.

Second that lifesaver comment, Just_John.

I will be in New York next week, my second time ever in the city (heck, in the US, for that matter) and I was gutted that I found out about Patti's show way too late.

But now, I've got 2 bar seats for the show on the 14th.
What a great way to spend our last evening in New York! Patti LuPone at 54 Below - just saw it
