Patti LuPone trashes Sherie Rene Scott?

Posted: 6/21/13 at 7:04am

She has very conflicted feelings about Evita. One minute she's saying what a bad show it is, the next minute she's saying how the movie could never measure up to the greatness of the show.

Maybe I'm imposing my own feelings here, but I think that what she's saying is that, although it's the strongest score Andrew Lloyd Webber wrote, it's very slight material that was greatly elevated by Hal Prince's direction. The movie was unable to lift the material in the same way.

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

"Is she still pissed at Tim Rice for snaking the London Anything Goes away from her for his then-wife Elaine Paige?"

Elaine Paige and Tim Rice were never married, although they did have a semi-public affair in the 80's.

Ms LuPone has a tendency to attack anyone better looking and more talented than she is, so basically every single human being on earth and most species of animals is a target.

I would agree that the show isn't very good. It's all exposition. However, if you have amazing singers doing those songs it almost doesn't matter. And Madonna AIN'T IT.

Really? No one can tell me what LuPone said about Sherie Rene Scott?

Clap yo hands, you saw the show, did she dish on anyone that night?

This thread has become a discussion on the merits of the Sunset Blvd. score, and Patti's current ability to sing songs from Evita.

I'm so disappointed. But what can I expect when a previous message I posted was deleted just because I said I couldn't refer to either LuPone or Scott as the "c" word because they both lack the warmth and depth.

Which was a joke. I mean Broadway without humor is nothing but a Kathie Lee Gifford musical.

"Is the cast album good enough representation"

Its an ALRIGHT representation but the bootlegs on youtube and her performance at the TONY AWARDS do her better justice. She sounds a bit to controlled on the album IMO but hearing the bootlegs she sounds on FIRE! Amazing.

Why has no one done an Evita Concert? We get a Phantom concert every other month why can't we have an Evita one?

I believe Andrew Lloyd Webber didn't want to release the rights for a concert version, with the hope there'd be a revival in the future. Well, now that there's been a revival, it looks like an OBC reunion concert could very well happen.

I'm not sure I can believe the Patti going into the revival idea. That sounds far too off the wall; she wouldn't fit into the aesthetic of the revival plus she's 30 years too old (although that didn't stop Marti Webb from taking on the role in a UK tour of the Hal Prince version nearly 20 years after she originally did it). But I don't find Mark Shenton a particularly trustworthy or credible source either; even Michael Riedel is more professional re the truth than Shenton IMHO.

Re LuPone's conflicted views on Evita, I wonder how much of it is down to the Sunset experience. I never really heard her trashing Evita before the Sunset debacle.

As much as I resent ALW for what he did to poor Patti, I don't really like when she denigrates his music. "He's a ****ty composer". But he wrote your signature song. A song you sing virtually every time you do a concert. A song that makes you tear up when you sing it.

That I don't get.

"Ms LuPone has a tendency to attack anyone better looking and more talented than she is, so basically every single human being on earth and most species of animals is a target. "

This is, in a more on-the-nose fashion, my sentiment exactly. I have never "gotten it." I get the novelty, I get the "charisma." I just think it's a lot of unintelligible blather in a tired old beltress, IMHO.

I will never forget about the story of her throwing things around in her dressing room(s) [it has to still happen, c'mon] and her infamous stage rants. But going after Sherie... no one goes after Sherie Rene Scott, not even Patti LuPone.

Every so often there was a rare moment of perfect balance when I soared above him.

And all other opinions aside, Mr. Shenton: had you wanted to exhibit true class, you wouldn't have teased such a juicy tidbit in the first place. You would have omitted it from your story, and discussed the merits of the show...the audience would soon be on these boards spouting about it anyway.

i agree. Sherie seems like the most down to earth girl ever. I honestly feel like she is the victim. What was the whole Idina and Sherie thing about?

Why are we bringing a two year old post back from the dead? Has there been some sort of new development? Is this just necroposting in an attempt to get a response? Seriously, what gives?

You can all blame me. I thought my comment would intrigue people to buy a wonderful book of interviews with top notch theatre ladies. I should have known Pinto would have done something like this and stirred the pot (as is his wont) for no reason.

Literally all she said (in response to ending asked about WOTV) was that they were saddled with a terrible leading lady.

Now hopefully this thread can disappear once again.

ABitOnTheSide said: ""Now I love LuPone as much as anyone else, But the girl needs to get a grip and stop trashing everyone. It will stop her from working."

You seem to project that Patti LuPone is trashing someone, which has yet to be determined. Maybe you are the one unfairly trashing someone?

"All she seems to do in her book is moan about one person or another! Maybe its about time people did a book or show on whats its like working with Patti, I'm sure she can a handful to say the least. "

A handful in a good way. I've got friends who've worked with her in Gypsy and a few other shows that have nothing bad to say about her, that she's a true professional and doesn't have time for monkey business. Actually, all I've heard about working with LuPone on a show is pretty much boring, drama free stuff."

My friend that worked with Lupone has nothing nice to say about working with her.
