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.

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.

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.

Posted: 9/13/11 at 10:45amSo I guess we won't be getting Cirque Du LuPone anytime soon.

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.

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 12:18pmBut a thread about Dakota Fanning starring in a Dreamgirls sequal is the absolute HEIGHT of hilarity.

Ohhh. Yeah, then no. That's what's called a joke fail.

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.
