Brilliant.

Here's his BY THE SEA, which I posted before.

He has even mastered the LuPone jaw woble.

OH ....my....goodness! This guy does a phenomenal interpretation of our Miss Patti!! He must be something like 21 or 22 years of age? I have an inkling that he'll be a musical theatre major. He is awesome. from RC in Austin, Texas

This guy's rendition of "By The Sea" hilariously duplicates many of LuPone's vocal mannerisms to a scarily accurate level, but his "Everything's Coming Up Roses" sounds nothing like her.

Where is the heavy vibrato and scoops? If he's specifically immitating the Tony performance like the title says, he's quite a ways off in terms of her vocal approach to this number (he's just throwing in some of her trademark affectations without really doing anything she specifically does here.)

Regardless, quite a hoot!

He did her swoop on 'Nothing to DooOOOO' but relax, perfectly.

I remember his "I Dreamed a Dream" by Daphen Rubin-Vega and it sounded just like her, or atleast a good spoof of it. Seriously, Daphne please no more Les Mis as Fantine.

It's not quite as spot on as "By the Sea", but it's still pretty funny. I wish I had friends like that. I LOVE "I'm Not That Smart". I hope you have someone wonderful to go home to, Michael.

I'm sorry if you guys don't think it's as spot as By the Sea-I just make these videos to entertain. I love Patti and I love her singing and I'm not trying to prove anything with the videos. They're just supposed to be fun.


And CATSNYrevival, that was sweet what you said.

Everything but the dialogue in By the Sea is BRILLS. I personally had no problem understanding her speak the 2 times i saw her in Sweeney, but seriously, that was AMAZING. too funny.

That is pretty amazing. Esp. the lip curl.

Way to nail the straight-tone into the intense vibrato on the final note, in "Roses".

Fabulous job!

He's pretty good, now if we could get him in drag...

Ummm...isn't Patti LuPone the *best* Patti LuPone impersonator?

I loved "Everything's Coming Up Roses". On "By The Sea" the only version i've heard is Angela's, so I can't say. But "Roses" was scarily spot on.
