Posted: 2/13/07 at 3:27pmDoes anyone know if Patti was microphoned? I'm kind of curious about how she'd fare as far as that goes.
Jimmy, what are you doing here in the middle of the night? It's almost 9 PM!

All of the leads are miked...
They are all finding it odd.

Posted: 2/13/07 at 5:48pmDid Patti object any to wearing a mic? She's always been a very vocal opponent of them, and I would assume she'd be indignant that she'd have to wear one for an opera.
"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."

Well they had to leave room for all the "For Your Consideration" Oscar ads.
My guess is about 50 percent of the actual review made it into print.
'Tis the season. And Variety has its priorities.

Posted: 2/14/07 at 10:27amPatti is against the over-microphonication of Broadway. She's a traditionalist. Use your voice and skills to get to the back of the house. I think they miked the LA Opera piece because of spoken dialogue in such a big space. Sound systems are such right now on Bway that you can't even tell who's saying a line unless they step forward or have a spotlight on them.
