Patti and Seth: Sounds absolutely magical!

She performed with the current Magadi!! She did With One Look from Sunset!!

I hope Seth taped this one like he did last year. I NEED TO SEE or HEAR THIS!!
Twenty Years Later, Patti LuPone Performs Sunset Boulevard in London

Tears..of..joy.

The video said that the guy just got randomly pulled up on stage! Imagine if you were in that crowd and got picked to sing with someone that legendary!!! I don't know how he managed to form words let alone sing a song.

I would say that the case all of the Patti haters put forth gets weaker and weaker as time goes on. She is a legend, a workhorse and above all a PRO.

This woman I love!!

"I would say that the case all of the Patti haters put forth gets weaker and weaker as time goes on."

She is good, but her diction is not great, it never has been great, and never will be great. At least she acknowledges this.

I'm going on Sunday afternoon - I'm so excited! (It's the high point of a weekend consisting of nothing else but nightshifts...)

You can read even more about it from this link from yesterday's All That Chat. Other links and information on the New Orleans show earlier this year over there too. No Patti haters on that thread. One poster calls her "lovely and gracious".

OMG OMG and here is an audio recording of her singing Rainbow High from tonight sounding basically no different than she did over thirty years ago!!

Absolutely thrilling.

That is some set list.

We all owe a great debt to Seth for inspiring her to sing some of those songs again. I know her natural proclivity is to move on and not dwell in the past, so it is a rare treat.

I hope they tour further with this show!!

Let me tell you something about Anything Goes:

I got tickets to see it in 1988. I was 18 years old, and I bought a ticket for my straight college roommate who I had a terrible crush on.

I knew NOTHING about Patti LuPone going in. I will never ever forget the end of the first act when she sang Anything Goes. It was absolutely thrilling. My heart was racing. Who was this force of NATURE up on that stage? She belted out the last "Anything Gooooooooooooes!" WAY above the chorus. I was stunned.

That night me and my college roommate stayed in a room at the Hotel Dorset. I didn't get to have sex with him, but that night I had my first gay experience, which was my instant Diva-love for Patti LuPone.

Thank God I saw her. I believe she left the show just a couple of weeks after that!!

Omg She still sounds like the recording!

But who has footage of Gavin Creel singing Valjean?! https://twitter.com/JaredGertner/status/348949405333864449

Please God, tell me at least one of these shows was recorded for posterity. They can sell it and give the proceeds to a great charity and make some money. These concerts should be preserved and handed down from generation to generation. Patti LuPone is proving to be THE premiere theater singer of all time.

You're welcome.
