If you look up "fierce" in the dictionary, there's a picture of Patti.
I totally got chills at the end of that number.

Posted: 6/15/08 at 8:49pmi thought the phantom part was archive footage from the 1988 tony awards (1988?); then whpoopi appeared....best moment of my life.

Posted: 6/15/08 at 8:49pmAgree on Laura. Saw the show on May 30 and was as impressed by her as I was with Patti. Patti's one of those forces of nature who straddles the line between genius and ham, while Laura is so freaking delicate and subtle.

Posted: 6/15/08 at 8:50pmI guess Patti's toe was atill hurting and that's why she was yelling do much, during and after the number.

Posted: 6/15/08 at 8:50pmPatti was amazing! Whoopi in Phantom: Just priceless but sooo wrong.

Posted: 6/15/08 at 8:51pmWas someone yelling something when people were going nuts for Patti LuPone? It sounded like someone over a microphone. I have an ear infection so it was muffled even with the volume up.

They're showing the audience because she got a standing ovation.
I'm switching to Ratatouille during the commercials. This is ridiculous.

Posted: 6/15/08 at 8:51pmPATTI LuPONE!!!! She's so extraordinary! Her win later tonight (she better) is what I am waiting for the most! I'm hosting a tony party and all eight of us went WILD with applause after her performance - the single best performance all season IMO!

Posted: 6/15/08 at 8:54pmPatti was incredible and I am so glad they chose that song. They got to do dialogue, and have Laura and Boyd up there. Also, it was different because usually Gypsy productions do Rose's Turn.
