Patti Lupone haters? — Page 2

Wildcard - I'm one of the Patti fanatics who will admit that she's not perfect, right for every role, etc... We do exist. hehe

Though she is the cure to most of my problems. The Lady With The Torch has a song for every bad relationship.

"...but i still like the less silly mrs. lovett that patti shows."

Have you seen Patti in the concert version of Sweeney Todd? She acted like Mrs. Lovett was emotionally overeacted. Very nervous about things around her. I haven't watch the new show but according to the video promos, she's too serious. Mrs. Lovett is actually a mother-like character who eventually shows her evil face at the end, that's why Sondheim want Angela to do it. Patti did this also (with hilarious elements in the concert version too), but in the new show... I think it's the director's problem...

So you've seen her birth certificate, CrimsonFaerie?

I wasn't in any way trying to be nasty or suggest that she looked older. If she had taken a year or two off her age, she would hardly have been the first actress or actor to have done that. I just wondered if she was a little older because I did think that Juilliard was usually more in the nature of a graduate school and so I wondered because of the year she would have graduated from Juiliard.

People enjoy her personality, as do I. Sometimes that can help onstage, like when you need a big presence in Evita. However, sometimes big attitudes and personalities just have no place onstage for certain roles and she just seems like too big a figure for her own good. Luckily she has gotten roles that appease that and she can bring it out to strengthen her performance.

I personally LOVE her... I saw her in Sweeney in march, and she was so AMAZINGLY AWSOME, everything i thought she would be...

Patti LuPone is Jesus! If you hate Patti then you hate Jesus! I'm a jew, but jesus was cool.

I love Patti. I think she's an outstanding actress and singer. I'll admit, I can be one of those "Patti is the answer to everything" people at times, but most of the time I'm not. I love Patti because she is so larger than life and has a truly stunning stage presence. She is truly a living legend.

I sometimes like her, and sometimes hate her. Well, hate is a strong word, but her voice at times is like fingernails on a blackboard. I think she's a talented actress, but her voice can be quite ugly at times in my opinion. I do kinda appreciate her "in your face tell it like it is" personality though.

Absolutely love Patti. I think she has a wonderful, powerful instrument and personality. Can't imagine Broadway without her.
