Not only did this interviewer not have ANY clue about the plot (i.e. "You play a woman who makes pies out of people your landlady kills. Does it ever get you down?"), but she may have asked the most ignorant questions I have ever read.
Does this woman know anything about theatre?
I don't know how Patti kept a straight face during this one.

It sounds like a high school interview.
"The stereotype of a Broadway audience is that it’s filled with gay guys."
The sad part is that there are about 50 people on this board that could have done a better interview.

Posted: 11/8/05 at 12:58pmShe should be fired. That was the most ignorant interview I've ever read. Assuming of course it wasn't met to be funny. It reminded me of those '10 stupid questions to ask [insert has-been here] articels in Entertainment Weekly. But she still managed to offend gay men and high school band members all in a two minute read.

I got a huge laugh from some of those questions!

You also play the triangle, another loser instrument".

Thanks for that! I never read Newsweek.
That made me laugh.

It's obviously very tongue in cheek and meant to be amusing.
And clearly Ms. Lupone got the tone and went right along with it.
Seriously, lighten up. Theater is FUN.

Posted: 11/8/05 at 1:10pmI think a good interview is judged on the questions asked, not how they are answered. Does the reader want to know the answers? Do they care about what people eat? Does the interviewer seem more interested in who the interviewee knows or who they have worked with than the person they are actually interviewing? And of course, the follow ups are VERY important.

I was sort of expecting some more questions toward the end along the lines of
"What is your favorite color and why?"
OR
"So, do you have any pets?"

Wow, they had Patti Lupone for an interview, and this is what they asked?

Posted: 11/8/05 at 1:19pmOr better yet---- "Are any of your pets gay guys?"
