What Show Should Patti and Laura Do Next?

I say 'NIGHT MOTHER.

MOMMIE DEAREST - The Musical

Imagine LuPone, heaving her lungs out singing an aria all the while hacking away at the roses, in that flared gown!

Benanti having a great number in the hospital room as she witnesses Joan Crawford replacing her on the daytime soap. Brilliant!

Oh now THAT'S interesting!

[Kalimba]

Egghumor, I love that suggestion!!

Khakis, very interesting indeed.

LUPONE GREY GARDENS

I don't know if you're joking, but I actually would love to see Patti play old Big Edie in a revival in about 20 years.

The Rink actually doesn't sound like a bad idea...Anything to get these two on a stage together.

[egghumor]

Posted: 5/4/11 at 8:52pm

I couldn't agree more! The Rink with those two is an inspired idea... and sort of like the recent "Night Music," casting, the replacement cast could be Liza and Leslie Kritzer!

Do they have to do something together? I mean I would love that, but maybe it is time they work apart.

"Do they have to do something together? I mean I would love that, but maybe it is time they work apart."

Eh, why mess up a good chemistry? It's like catnip to the Tony nominators and voters.

That's like Bert and no Ernie. Bacon with no eggs, Cagny without Lacey. It just doesn't work.

I was just about to say Grey Gardens!

Seriously, Hello Dolly!, with Boyd Gaines.

[rentfan2]

Posted: 5/4/11 at 8:58pm

I would love to see them in Carrie!

Maybe they can swich roles half way through the run! I would pay to see THAT!!

How about a gender flip of The Producers?

[finishmyhat]

Posted: 5/4/11 at 9:03pm

Human Centipede: The Musical.

Patti gets to play the one in back who gets real sick. Laura gets to be in the middle. And BD Wong could be the Asian guy.

Just imagine Patti belting out something fierce while her mouth is planted against Laura's... well, you get the idea.

It'd be like Sweeney Todd but for more sophisticated audiences. Score by Larry O'Keefe. Anyone?

[Jordan Catalano]

Posted: 5/4/11 at 9:07pm

Yeah...I like THE RINK better. Lol

[trentsketch]

Posted: 5/4/11 at 9:08pm

The obvious answer is they'll play Hunter and Jeff in the Broadway revival of [Title of Show].

[finishmyhat]

Posted: 5/4/11 at 9:09pm

Or Kate and Trekkie in the Broadway return of Ave Q.

[CapnHook]

'NIGHT MOTHER has been the best suggestion yet.

If you want to do a gender-reversal, I say DIRTY ROTTEN SCOUNDRELS.
