She definitely did. She was pretty and had Blonde Hair and was always really nice to me. Her boyfriend was hot.

Why is "Blonde Hair" capitalized?

Hey you guys are the ones that asked. You can't honestly tell me that you didn't play with action figures while you were growing up

"Why is "Blonde Hair" capitalized"

No reason.

Interesting, since "No reason" defines most of this thread

Because of Jordan. That's the only reason why.

Also, there is no mention of Lea Michele. That's a nice change for once.

Thanks all that jazz. I have no idea why Liza's headband is even on this thread. She hasn't contributed anything to the topic at hand. Jordan had nothing to do with this thread and neither does Lea Michelle so idk why this troll likes to start stuff. Headband also tried to start something with me in the Gypsy thread earlier today. Clearly she is obsessed with me.

Liza's headband really is just a follower and will go along with what anyone else will say. Its like Jordan paid her to be his secretary or something.

Lauren Kennedy also played Eva and completely nailed the score. Honestly, I think Patti does best with a role when she brings her own emotions to the table. She triumphed in EVITA because she channeled her misery. She triumphed in GYPSY because she brought all of the Laurents history with her and fought like hell for the part.

I've also seen her sleepwalk and become lackluster, shredding scores with her "flannel mouth"-(that is the nickname taken from her bio.)

"The sexual energy between the mother and son really concerns me!"-random woman behind me at Next to Normal "I want to meet him after and bang him!"-random woman who exposed her breasts at Rock of Ages, referring to James Carpinello

I completely agree. She is an Actor first and a Singer second.

Wait. Can we pause? How old are you, exactly? You're still reliving your days from the 5th grade? I'm so confused.

This cracked me up and it's on point. How old are you REALLY, broadway guy?? You're still in high school, right? You clearly have a lot of maturing to do.

But how did LuPone get so good at singing?

Those are her words not mine. I agree with her though. Patti always tries to understand the character and dives in deep with the character psychologically. She got mad when the London choreographers kept telling her how Elaine Paige did Evita. Patti said that she didn't want to know how Elaine did it cause she wanted to go on her own journey to discover the character. Thankyou for getting this thread back on topic wynbish. Lord knows it was overdue...

I wish she had been an Actor first and Singer second in SWEENEY TODD. Actually, I wish she would have been Mrs. Lovett first, and Patti LuPone second... but my experience of that revival was sadly the opposite.

Words don't deserve that kind of malarkey. They're innocent, neutral, precise, standing for this, describing that, meaning the other, so if you look after them you can build bridges across incomprehension and chaos. But when they get their corners knocked off, they're no good anymore…I don't think writers are sacred, but words are. They deserve respect. If you get the right ones in the right order, you can nudge the world a little.

yes yes i know all about her Evita struggling.I wonder if she would of had problems with the Evita score if she attended a MT school. hmmm...

hmmm

I still do wonder that Wynbish. If she had her voice trained a bit more by an MT school she might not have struggled so much through EVITA. But i don't know if there were exclusively MT schools around that time. PLus, I think she is such a great actress because she did go to juilliard so if she went to an exclusively MT school than she might not of had the acting training to play Mama Rose as well as she did.

Her casting of Mrs.Lovett really came out of left field for me. I never saw her do it live but i did watch a bootleg of the whole show and I thought she was magnificent.t She always brings something different to her parts and she is My favorite Mrs.Lovett to date.
