"The actress — most famous for making a cameo appearance on the hit TV show 30 Rock, singing this song, and for starring in a play about a lady called Eva."
Really?? A cameo on 30 Rock??

From what I have been hearing, Cirque hasn't been packing them in at Radio City. I didn't know they had a 5 year lease though. I saw the show and wasn't really impressed.
I have to agree with her regarding the sound at some shows.

Posted: 9/13/11 at 9:30amI wasn't aware that a cameo on 30 Rock is what brought her stardom.

Someone is going to have to summarize this article. I'm laughing so hard at the first line, I can't read it.
"BUSTY Broadway babe Patti LuPone is not a fan of Cirque du Soleil."
I saw "Summer of Sam" and I wouldn't call that busty.
If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

I completely agree with her issues with sound and I love that she uses HAIR as an example. I couldn't understand what they were saying at the St James this past summer.
And I too often hate how the sound is just so amplified that it doesn't sound like it is coming out of the mouths of the people. BOM Eugene O'Neil Rear Mezz... I look at you!
Love shows (e.g. the recent Night Music) that sound natural.
"You can't overrate Bernadette Peters. She is such a genius. There's a moment in "Too Many Mornings" and Bernadette doing 'I wore green the last time' - It's a voice that is just already given up - it is so sorrowful. Tragic. You can see from that moment the show is going to be headed into such dark territory and it hinges on this tiny throwaway moment of the voice." - Ben Brantley (2022)
"Bernadette's whole, stunning performance [as Rose in Gypsy] galvanized the actors capable of letting loose with her. Bernadette's Rose did take its rightful place, but too late, and unseen by too many who should have seen it" Arthur Laurents (2009)
"Sondheim's own favorite star performances? [Bernadette] Peters in ''Sunday in the Park,'' Lansbury in ''Sweeney Todd'' and ''obviously, Ethel was thrilling in 'Gypsy.'' Nytimes, 2000

Not sure a film reference from twelve years ago is the best example to go with considering the adjective in question refers to the present.
Really?? A cameo on 30 Rock??
It's a Hollywood gossip blog. The perspective is unsurprising.

Goth, I'll summarize: Patti LuPone is famous for her boobs, "30 Rock," and her second-act number in "Women on the Verge."

Maybe that's what she should've titled her memoir.
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.

Does anybody else find it funny that PL makes a complaint about not being able to understand lyrics?....assuming of course, that she did actually say that.

"The actress — most famous for making a cameo appearance on the hit TV show 30 Rock, singing this song, and for starring in a play about a lady called Eva."
That's what's called a joke, folks. You see, she's actually obviously most famous for Evita so the writer buries that after two things that she's not famous for! To potentially humorous effect!

"That's what's called a joke, folks."
No, jokes are funny.
The reason that it's not funny is that nobody thinks of Evita as a play about a lady called Eva. First of all, it's a musical and second of all Evita is more specific than Eva.

Posted: 9/13/11 at 12:50pmSo, basically, Patti LuPone has gotten to the point of her life where the music is too loud and she wants the kids off her lawn.
"...everyone finally shut up, and the audience could enjoy the beginning of the Anatevka Pogram in peace."
