I absolutely love Patti. She is my favorite female bway performer. She is also very sweet and answers alot of my fan mail. Ok. I keep asking her to record Jason Robert Brown's "The Flagmaker, 1776" from SONGS FOR A NEW WORLD, but she said no label would record her... isn't that just sad?

Cause she would be AMAZING in that song, which so totally is right for her...

Her interpretation of Ms. Lovett is also fatastic. Of course it will always be Angela Lansbury's role, but I really love Patti's "Worst Pies In London", the way she holds the notes "LONDOOOOOON"- just gives me chills.

And sorry I am out of the loop, but why do people call her crazy?

She is a little nuts and tough to work with -- nut all that aside I adore her -- she igreat with her fans and appreciates them tremendously -- she has earned a diva status, but sometimes it has hurt her reputation (in some eyes)....

"nut all that aside I adore her"

KMF, that very well might be the funniest thing I've EVER read here.

be sure to read the review Rob posted in teh Pulse section (from the Chicago Sun Times) -- won't repost the link as it already exists, but a perfect review of her concert this past Sunday/Monday night....

She is sublime

Ah, when she sings Meadowlark I just melt (sorry, not like that W show). What a great review, I wish I had been back in my old stompin' grounds in Chicago for the Ravinia concert. I'll bet she did a mean Ladies Who Lunch too. Which, by the way, and off topic, Lynn Redgrave BUTCHERED in the Kennedy Center production of Company.

I sing for myself. I sing when I want, whenever I want to, just for me. I sing for my own pleasure. Do you understand that?

My God -- a pro-Sondheim thread and a pro-Patti thread. Am I dreaming?

Hmmm...five reasons I love Patti:*

1) in this detestable era of Interchangeable Bland Voices, nobody else sounds like her – warm and rich, with that sort of wild cackle when she cuts loose. She gets better & better.
2) she is a magnetic, powerhouse stage presence – charismatic, confident, winning
3) she loves an audience
4) she’s pretty damn ballsy
5) she’s finally turned into a Sondheim dame...and therefore (thank God) keeps returning to Ravinia

*extra credit: “The Actress Hasn’t Learned the Lines (You’d Like to Hear)” – I don’t know, for some reason a current favorite of mine...something especially tender comes through
