I would like to see Patti Lupone on stage, and it seems like I'll get the opportunity later in the year when she's starring in Mamet's "The Anarchist." But I was wondering...how good of an actress is she when she's not acting/singing in a musical? Other than her big musical roles, I'm not familiar with her acting credits. Thoughts?
Thanks!

She's a classically trained actress from Julliard.....
#3The Anarchist and Patti Lupone
Posted: 7/31/12 at 11:08pmThere are some days when I wish I could watch her scenes in GYPSY again, rather than listen to the album, as good as that is. She's a fabulous actress, and yes, classically trained from Juilliard. She's a presence and a force of nature.

Posted: 7/31/12 at 11:24pmI actually should have posted, "Who's Patti Lupone?", but I've been awfully bitchy these days and figured I'd be nice and answer the freakin' question. :)

I totally misread this post to be about THE ANTICHRIST AND PATTI LUPONE.
Interest was piqued.

Some of tomorrow's Chik-Fil-A customers might start a thread like that someday.

It's really quite impressive how some people seem to get a sense of satisfaction from pointing out minor things like "Lupone" vs. "LuPone" instead of answering the question. Meh.
But thanks to those making a useful contribution.

Posted: 8/1/12 at 8:25pmYes Patti was trained at Juilliard in the first class of the Drama Division in the late '60s, and she has stated at numerous points that once she began to train in straight acting, she never wanted to do another musical, but her first big 'break' (or whatever you want to call that experience) was a musical: 'Evita,' and she won her two Tonys for musicals. But she has done plays on Broadway like Mamet's 'The Old Neighborhood' and McNally's 'Master Class' (which she also took to London).

Posted: 8/1/12 at 9:29pmBut she hasn't had a Tony nod for her work in straight plays, which I kind find a little strange.

She was a replacement in Master Class, so she wasn't eligible. And other than The Old Neighborhood and Noises Off, the bulk of her straight plays on Broadway were either with The Acting Company or closed quickly.

Do Tony nods mean anything? Really? So if you don't get a Tony nod, you're not good, or you did bad work? Is that how it works?

I've been here longer than you. I was being sarcastic, in response to pinoyidol's post.

Posted: 8/1/12 at 11:04pmI was being sarcastic, in response to your post. Clearly it didn't work as well as I had hoped.
#23The Anarchist and Patti Lupone
Posted: 8/1/12 at 11:31pmIs being "wity" like being a "honkey".
