They both had makeovers, LOL, and not exactly for the better...Mandy looks ~ 20 yrs older with that beard, Patti's got the shot pixie in all the advertising. Is that a wig?
They sound good though. Is this from the Broadway production??

I didn't remember them giving stories or talking to the audience *at all* like this when I saw this.
"In Buddy's Eyes"? I dont' remember that either. Probably wasn't the best idea for her to sing it like that considering the easy comparison to Bernadette Peters' masterful performance.
Guh. I wish I could have seen Patti in GYPSY.
The subject line sounds like a particularly niche fetish.

No, that's her real hair. I really hope she cuts it before the show opens, though.
And they didn't talk to the audience when I saw it (4 years ago), but I wonder if that was just something for the press preview. Patti definitely sang In Buddy's Eyes, though.

What is the chance there will be a discount offer for this show?
i think LuPone looks fabulous. She's lost weight and I like the hair - a lot less matronly than the bowl cut.
They both look and sound amazing
I can not WAIT to see them!
I know Mandy has done "In Someone's Eyes" in his solo concerts. I'm sure they've added, removed, and substituted new material for Broadway. Looking forward to seeing this even though I do hope LuPone cuts her hair and Patinkin shaves his beard---they really don't look anything like the photos online/on the marquee, haha. It's still ~ 4 weeks away from opening so they may indeed spruce up their appearances.

Mandy's beard is strange for me to look at. I don't understand it.
Patti looks like she borrowed one of Sylvia Browne's wigs.
I still can't understand what she's saying... but it's sounds so beautiful.

I like both these actors and I'm sure most people feel the same way. But going from the trailer I think you'd have to worship at their feet to enjoy this show.
So I take it there is no orchestra, just a piano?
