Patti's Turn

So what do you think Patti LuPone's reaction was when she learned Gypsy was closing early?

If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

I think Patti was probably OK about it. It has been a great, wonderful run, especially in the middle of this economic crisis and after being revived only 5 years ago. I also know that she is exhausted and would enjoy some time to rest.

It's been a great run! I am not sure there will every be a production of Gypsy that is quite this thrilling.

Congrats to all involved!

Maybe she can add more tour dates for her upcoming tour with Patinkin.

Yup. Though I'm sure she felt the blow for the other actors and crew, on her personal end I'm sure she was relieved and enthused as she has been quite vocal about how exhausted the show has been for her.

I'm sure she's now counting the days for her extended time-off instead of the days between the previously announced March closing date for GYPSY and the start of her tour.

She probably expected it.

"Arthur never wanted me to do LuPone Gypsy in the first place. Now he's trying to close me down. He wants everyone to go spend their money at Liza's show. Well there can only be one diva on Broadway at a time. I'll show all of you. I'm going back to tv where I'm appreciated."

maybe she'll replace Estelle Parsons in August: Osage County.
or have a role in the upcoming revisal of [title of show] that just HAS to happen.

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

Or maybe someone will write a new musical for her?

Or maybe she'll go on tour with Mandy Patinkin!

I chose, and my world was shaken. So what? The choice may have been mistaken. The choosing was not.
