This title is so messy lol she wasn’t pissed at Bernadette, she was pissed at the director for not telling her that they gave the part to Bernadette and not her.
She has every reason to be pissed at Bernadette though. Patti auditioned to replace Bernadette in Sunday but didn’t get it, she then was courted to play the Witch in ITW, turned it down for it only to be offered to Bernadette. Then comes the 90s, where Patti campaigned publicly to play Annie Oakley in a Broadway revival of Annie Get Your Gun (even playing it in concert first) only for a production to be mounted in 1999 centred around Bernadette. Then the Sam Mendes Gypsy happened in the late 90s/early 2000s. Then in 2011, Patti wanted to replace Catherine Zeta Jones in A Little Night Music but Trevor Nunn never returned her phone call and offered Bernadette the role instead. I think Patti has always been envious of Stephen Sondheim’s adoration for Bernadette and also that they’ve always been up for similar roles as they’re similar types. But I don’t think they’ve ever had actual public beef. They’ve always been quite diplomatic. You’re right, most of the beef has been with producers and directors but it seems Bernadette has always been part of her many heartaches 😅
@@fountainchain126 I read that Patti didn't want the Witch in ITW. She auditioned for Cinderella. Which sounds crazy but wouldn't you have paid top dollar to see Joanna Gleason, Bernadette, and Patti in a show???!!!
Matthew Senese she claims she wanted to play Cinderella (can’t really picture that tbh) but they offered her the Witch. I believe she made a number of demands (salary, top billing) which they didn’t want to give her and then when Bernadette ended up doing it she got everything Patti wanted including star billing 👀 Bernadette got the last laugh as well because she announced Joanna Gleason as the Tony winner for best actress that year where Patti was also nominated (and the perceived frontrunner) for Anything Goes...
@@fountainchain126 she has no reason to be pissed at bernadette.. she can and should be pissed at the producers and the situation but its not like bernadette has it out for her and went out of her way to get the roles she wanted. she has no fault in that. and i feel that patti knows that and has no problem with bernadette. she has every right to not like bernadette though or like not vibe with her cause they were always up for the same roles like i dont think theyll be best friends lol but be pissed at her? no
This title is misleading. She has no issue with Bernadette; she has an issue over the way she wasn’t notified the role was given to Bernadette even though Sam Mendes verbally offered it to her first.
I remember when she was doing Gypsy on Broadway, I read somewhere that she was interested in replacing Ms Peters. Arthur Laurents didn't like that version and wanted it closed.
@@patbulfin5459 What you say is true, but Arthur eventually warmed to Patti after actually seeing her in-person. He also liked the idea of getting one over on Mendes whom he had feuded with only weeks earlier. Patti talks all about this in her memoir which I'm currently working my way through, haha!
@@tatemitchell1479 thanks for clearing that up. There's another story that Arthur visited Betty Buckley when she was doing Gypsy. I don't know how he felt about her performance. He told her that the show isn't going to Broadway.
Alyssa Edwards and Patti Lupone are the combination I never knew I needed until now!!!! Patti is ALWAYS shady (but in the best way!) We need to rally for her to be a judge on Drag Race!!!! They can do the unauthorized Patti Lupone Rusical and then she can READ the contestants for filth!!!!
Now that was hilarious...I had tickets to see Patti in Company and that morning the show was postponed due to the virus. I don’t think the universe wants me to see Patti LuPone for some reason because I really do want to see her
How has nobody come back to this thread to discuss the fact that what will no doubt go down as one of her great tirades on an audience member occured at one of the _Company_ revival's performances during the pandemic? At a postshow Q&A, Patti was in the middle of a sentence when suddenly she noticed a woman in one of the first few rows had allowed her mask to slip off her nose. The woman - who surely had no clue what a bad idea it would be for her to clap back, proceeded to tell Patti (and I shiver at the unmitigated gall) that _she_ (and the rest of the audience) pays Patti's paycheck! Well, I won't give anything else away if there's anyone that hasn't yet seen it, so i'll just say Patti Lupone turned into Godzilla and the audience watched in abject terror while (one of) Broadway's greatest divas tore the woman limb from limb with only her mouth, showering then all with gore before picking up the response she'd been giving at the very word she stopped with. _THAT,_ my dears, is why she is La Lupone.
What happened was Sam Mendes had originally thought of Lupone for the role and offered it to her but Arthur Laurents had casting approval. Patti was on his sh*t list because she had walked out on one of his shows years earlier called "Jolson Sings Again" and he vowed she would never play Mamma Rose in New York. Arthur also wanted to cast Bernadette as Rose since she was closer to how the real Rose actually existed. He later did Gypsy with Lupone as a revenge production against Sam whom he feuded with during Bernadette's Gypsy. So much petty drama!
@@oceans80 Not all theatre people. CATS is what made me want to be an actor and get into musical theatre. I love the music the costumes the set and the lighting. Along with Phantom these are my top two favorites
You know what's awesome? Patti goes "I saw the Bette version YEARS ago!" Andy is kinda blank faced but the drag queen laughs cause she knows EXACTLY how subtly shady that comment is.
@@johndalton3180 Nah, Patti's only 4 years younger than Bette--I *really* don't think any older actress is gonna diss another; they know too well what it's like. I think she was just saying the TV version was ages ago and she didn't remember it.
Can we just have Patti and Alyssa dishing and send Andy to a time out? Not sure why, but he reminds me of that friend you hide from at the party, hoping they don't ever see you.
Patti in Evita... one of the greatest performances ever on Broadway ... the free Albert Hall concerts on you tube from Andrew Lloyd Webber, aside from the constant bombardment of charity donation requests, is so disappointing ...when I watched the female singers all I could think is they can’t come close to Patti.
Did you watch the Sondheim 90th birthday? Its on here, Its a different caliber of talent, and Patti is part of it. Baranski, Streep, and McDonald doing Ladies who lunch is about as iconic as iconic gets.
The Middler version was was 1993. Cohen should do his research and his math. Otherwise I like him quite a bit. I know she had had a falling out w Arthur Laurents at one point before they reconciled and she did Gypsy. She’s a great talent. I remember seeing seeing her do Pal Joey at Encores Presentation, shortly after the Sunset Blvd. disappointment. She stopped the show with “Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered.” There was a Q&A afterward and she wasn’t even expected to be part of it. But after a few minutes, she rushed out to graciously thank us for our love and support. That’s to me makes her a class act. I loved her memoir also.
Ms. Lupone was being herself and she was honest. Thee are a lot of snakes in the show business - you thing it is a harmless garter snake and sometimes they become rattlesnakes. Love you Patty - you were wonderful in "Hollywood." Why didn't Andy mention it? If I am being honest I find Andy insufferable these days.
The title is erroneous. Patti was in no way pissed of by Bernadette but by the producers and directing team who apparently behaved very poorly to her. But though they are not necessarily friends there is a great mutual respect between the ladies ( Bernadette , Patti, Bette ) and feuds are mostly uncommon between actors. Feuds are more frequent between actor/producer/manager/agent... but between actors/performers we usually know that we're on the same boat so we usually get along just fine ..
So GLAD to hear she hated Cats too! I studied as a dancer and am a full blown Broadway buff and could never understand why I hated it, but I do! So happy to see I'm in good company from one of those ladies who lunch :-D!
It became popular because of Gillian Lynne's choreography, Its just a very odd combination of dance theater and poems about a cat monarchy that runs a death cult. I think if anyone actually understood what was going on it would be a lot less popular, people are mesmerized by the choreography, which the film unfortunately hacked to bits.
I saw Cats at the Wintergarden, origianl production .... Flew in from Detroit. I thought "what the big deal" I thought it was nonsense ... all that sitting for one good song. Cats was so overated " I hated it".
Patti is like no other. Tells it like it is and has the mega talent and good taste to justify her every comment. I loved that she hated Cats. I always thought that show only pleased Broadway show newbies who thought they were being entertained by songs that all sounded the same with big production design as a distraction, having no prior experience or knowledge of the Broadway musical and it’s history. Broadway for the simple minded.
Tremendous anecdotal humor out of Patti's entire segment - Andy really on Andy's game. You can tell when Andy really respects his guest (Patti LuPone). I fell like Patti just told the ten movie premises, one after the other, i.e. high drama and brutal show biz callousness. It's not even supposed to exist at Patti's level. Literally a High-Wire Act and with people plotting just below...
Patti has always had an EGO like nobody else in Musical Theatre. That’s the difference. She didn’t get that Arthur wanted to tell the story of Rose in a different way than ever before in 2003. He wanted to see Rose in reality as a victim of circumstance, a mother , a beautiful woman who could have done it all if born at a different time. She instead resorted to making her kids successful at all costs. That’s truly what the story of the real Rose was about. A beautiful woman gone mad to make her kids what she couldn’t be. Bernadette did that and was AMAZING. People just didn’t understand that interpretation. They were so used to the fabricated story of Rose. It still never took away Bernies amazing work hence the Tony Nomination. Patti just isn’t that. Patti returned the show to its roots. Patti is the Standard Fabricated Rose. An unusual beauty, Loud, Selfish, Stubborn. The traditional interpretation of Rose loving herself over her kids. It’s why they got her that Tony. They did the 2008 show around Pattis strengths.
Not true. Patti reinterpreted that role to a whole new level. Her memoir, Arthur Laurents' memoir and the NY Times review all attest to the fact that this was a reinvented Rose, a woman who loved her kids but was misguided and simply went too far. LuPone's Rose, like Bernadette's, was sexy, vulnerable and full of pathos. But LuPone also truly shone in the vocal pyrotechnics of the role and in the big numbers specifically Rose's Turn. Peters, for all her virtues, did not have the pipes at that time for those big numbers (her best rendition of 'Some People' is on her Sondheim Etc. album from the 90s - truly astonishing...).
@@fountainchain126 That album is really fantastic. I'd argue that Bernadette is at her peak vocally at that time and she sounds amazing on that record. Her voice never seemed to really have the same dexterity from Gyspy onward, though I've still very much enjoyed her work since then. Her Rose's Turn at the Tony Awards was wonderful. You're right about Patti, though, with the pyrotechnics. My first trip to NYC was to see her in that role and it was unforgettable!
Saw Bernadette once and Patti twice at City Centre Encore and twice on Broadway. Patti’s Gypsy was the way Arthur Laurents wanted Gypsy/Rose to be because he directed himself. Patti was in best voice and Rose’s turn was the total meltdown that it should be. Although, I have to admit that Patti is a bit too shouty for repeat listening on cd, but, live, it was perfect. Bernadette gave a good performance, but, she looked and sounded like she was struggling for breath to hit the notes. Which ended up being a distraction because I kept waiting for her voice to fail.
I'd love to know how Patti knows/feels about her namesake, Adelina Patti, as I discovered that my great great grandparents were friendly with Ms. Patti.
I found out that Betty Hutton appeared in an off broadway production of Gypsy and Bernadette Peters played the daughter. Probably in the early '60s. Anyone got any info on that?
It wasn't Off Broadway. It was at the Kenley Players in Ohio, summer theater. If you type in Betty Hutton, Gypsy, on Ebay, a copy of the program should pop up.
A close friend of mine saw Hutton in GYPSY in Anaheim, CA and wasn't impressed with her performance saying it was all over the place. He also said she was literally popping pills on stage during the show. She may have been having a bad day when he saw her. Who knows?
I saw Patti on Broadway in Evita . She played her like a cartoon character. Her facial contortions were quite unbelievable even for the stage. Don't attack me, it's just my opinion.
If you want to start having a regular segment with Patti LuPone ... or a spin-off series, I would NOT be mad. Or The REAL Broadway Divas of New York reality / docuseries
But...Patti DID play Mama Rose on Broadway...in 2008. Bernadette did it in 2003. How did she have this full conversation acting as if she lost the role forever. She was in rehearsals within 4 years of the 2003 revival.
I saw Bernadette Peters in "Gypsy" and I thought she did a good job. It would have been better if they'd fixed it so she could have played every major female part (whoever was the dominant character in each particular scene), using doubles, mirrors, and other stage illusions.
No, she’s called Madame Rose. Mama Rose has been become a sort of nickname but she’s not referred to as that in the script. The author Arthur Laurents, was vocal about it as he hated ‘Mama Rose’ as she was never intended to be called that
My own personal, lifelong "Lily Langtree" (Patti LuPone). Patti just took over - was right in nyc when EVITA hit - it was electric. 3-mile run that brings you to the glory of Broadway all lit up. Exhilarating thanks Patti.
I LOVE Bette but she did not bring anything to the role, she was channeling Rosalind Russell, which is still the best film version. I am too young to have seen the Merm live. Most of my friends were disappointed as well.
Madam Rose is actually correct, if you go by the actual script. The author, Arthur Laurents (Spelling?) of the show actually stated he disliked the nickname of "Mama Rose" as it's not correct. Lol
She’s one of the few who comes off as the problem in her own autobiography. I mean I love her and that bio was such a fun read, but even when I sympathized with her, I felt she created a lot of her own problems and that she had some real entitlement issues.
Patti lupone: no issue with a gender bent play originally written about the struggles of men in their early 30s, but every issue with Bernadette peters.
Merman, Lansbury, LuPone, Staunton, and Midler are the greatest Madame Rose's. Roz Russell, no. She was jolly Madame Rose. A terrible performance. Peters, no. Sorry Bernadette. I like you in most things. But you were wrong for Madame Rose.
@@SDoesNotKnow Is no one allowed to have separate opinions? I liked Bernadette Peter's the best as Rose, but Patti's was still good. I liked Imelda Staunton as Rose.
"I didn't understand Madame Rose". That explains a lot lol. But then again she clearly doesn't understand Joanne either and she's played her three times.
Patti was jealous Bernadette got the role because Bernadette was BORN to play Mama Rose... Lupone was an afterthought and screamed her way thru the role when she had her opportunity.

It wasn't Off Broadway. It was at the Kenley Players in Ohio, summer theater. If you type in Betty Hutton, Gypsy, on Ebay, a copy of the program should pop up.
A close friend of mine saw Hutton in GYPSY in Anaheim, CA and wasn't impressed with her performance saying it was all over the place. He also said she was literally popping pills on stage during the show. She may have been having a bad day when he saw her. Who knows?
Alyssa and that fan 😂
What a messy title! Nice click-baiting
I saw Patti on Broadway in Evita . She played her like a cartoon character. Her facial contortions were quite unbelievable even for the stage. Don't attack me, it's just my opinion.
Miss Patti Lupone is one of the shadiest divasss... the original I don't her or them Queen
Patti is awesome.
If you want to start having a regular segment with Patti LuPone ... or a spin-off series, I would NOT be mad.
Or
The REAL Broadway Divas of New York reality / docuseries
Wow that read on Cats lol. So honest and I’m with her. I never understood the hype.
God's, Alyssa is stunning.
Well, that was shadier than I expected...
Always say Madame. It’s Mama Rose!
Madame Rose. They even call her that in the musical.
Bernadette was a 1000 times better than Ms. LuPone.
But...Patti DID play Mama Rose on Broadway...in 2008. Bernadette did it in 2003. How did she have this full conversation acting as if she lost the role forever. She was in rehearsals within 4 years of the 2003 revival.
patti talking normally IS yellow diamond
I saw Bernadette Peters in "Gypsy" and I thought she did a good job. It would have been better if they'd fixed it so she could have played every major female part (whoever was the dominant character in each particular scene), using doubles, mirrors, and other stage illusions.
Something's wrong here - LuPone played Rose in the 2008 Broadway revival. This clip from Cohen's show is years after that. So ... huh?
Our yellow Diamond destroying other people’s worlds. 🙏🏽💎🙏🏽
She keeps saying Madam Rose, but wasn't the character called Mama Rose?
People use both interchangeably.
No, she’s called Madame Rose. Mama Rose has been become a sort of nickname but she’s not referred to as that in the script. The author Arthur Laurents, was vocal about it as he hated ‘Mama Rose’ as she was never intended to be called that
She is called "Madame Rose" by the characters in the musical.
Omg I'm can't believe Patti hates CATS! How that show ran at The Winter Garden for eons is a mystery to me...meow!
Michelle came for Patti do you guys remember what she said to Gigi
My own personal, lifelong "Lily Langtree" (Patti LuPone).
Patti just took over - was right in nyc when EVITA hit - it
was electric. 3-mile run that brings you to the glory of Broadway
all lit up. Exhilarating thanks Patti.
I guess I’m in good company - I hated cats
Technically the title is correct. It doesn't state that she was unhappy with Bernadette. It states she was unhappy ABOUT Peter's role, Madame Rose.
Every Patti Lupone video on RUclips is her yelling at someone in the audience or criticizing another actor
I LOVE Bette but she did not bring anything to the role, she was channeling Rosalind Russell, which is still the best film version. I am too young to have seen the Merm live. Most of my friends were disappointed as well.
Love this video! Patti is totally correct...watched Bernadette play "Rose" on Broadway. She was so weak...So bad for the role.
I like Bernadette. But she was wrong for the role of Madame Rose.
3:15 What are the other two overtures?? Andy should've gotten the tea on that one for us theatre queers
I want to know her other 2 favorite overtures!
Alyssa Edwards looked into the camera the whole time, she must have mistaken it for a mirror
Doesn't understand Madame Rose? She did not say that!
I’m very curious about what Patti thinks of Audra as Rose….
Patti saying "Madame Rose" instead of Mama Rose..... And she wasn't tearing up Broadway in Company pre-Covid. It didn't open.
Madam Rose is actually correct, if you go by the actual script. The author, Arthur Laurents (Spelling?) of the show actually stated he disliked the nickname of "Mama Rose" as it's not correct. Lol
"Madame Rose" is correct.
Patti just needs to steer clear of talking about Ms. Streisand. Yes she is a Broadway legend, but she is nowhere near Barbra Streisand's level.
Is it bad that I like Betty “Miss Collins” Buckley better?
She lost her voice
@@gsolomonla ??? No she didn't. She toured in 'Hello Dolly' in 2019
@@darreylhenderson702 Did you see it?
I love Patti's talent,but is there anyone she's not pissed off at?
Right? She's got a problem with so many people. You'd think she'd realize what the common factor is...👀
She’s one of the few who comes off as the problem in her own autobiography. I mean I love her and that bio was such a fun read, but even when I sympathized with her, I felt she created a lot of her own problems and that she had some real entitlement issues.
Her husband and son?
Patti can be so full of herself~
can be? when isn’t she!!
gee, seems she lost the lead role in Sunset Boulevard the same way....any wonder why?? Take a hint Patti....difficult to work with much???
bullshit... she is the best. the real deal...
plzzz, I saw her live in concert - people were running for the exit doors before she finished. She's a horror @@marilynmichaels8358
Messy title--Andy doin' too many bong hits, tho.....
Patti why be pissed at Bernadette it simply was the Director's choice....a bit High School Petty
I don't think she was mad at Peters I think she was more mad at Mendes because he didn't tell her
Madame Rose? I've only heard the character referred to as Mama Rose.
Madame Rose is correct. The characters in the musical call her that.
@@JimMac23 You're right. I didn't notice her being called, "Madame" when I saw the show with Bernadette Peters...or maybe I just forgot.
Patti Seems like a mean and hateful person!! Also very jealous!
Patti!!!!!!!
She always seems so bitter. I can't imagine being around her for more than a minute.
Patty cakes sounds like a royal nightmare
Patti lupone: no issue with a gender bent play originally written about the struggles of men in their early 30s, but every issue with Bernadette peters.
Bernadette was a terrible Madame Rose. She was wrong for the part.
Background music annoying and distracting. Please remove.
Patti lupone is very self centered she thinks no one is as good as she is
she is right!
BIG -bette fan but did not like her at all in Gypsy
I loved Bette in Gypsy. A brilliant performance. You need to watch it again.
The title is so misleading. Trying to start shit. Smh.
Would the network ever bring back Miami housewives?
Merman, Lansbury, LuPone, Staunton, and Midler are the greatest Madame Rose's. Roz Russell, no. She was jolly Madame Rose. A terrible performance. Peters, no. Sorry Bernadette. I like you in most things. But you were wrong for Madame Rose.
... Imelda Staunton was the best Mama Rose
If you don't mind completely over-the-top.
If you enjoy someone playing the character angry and unlikable from the very first entrance
I thought she was the worst, by far.
@@SDoesNotKnow Is no one allowed to have separate opinions? I liked Bernadette Peter's the best as Rose, but Patti's was still good. I liked Imelda Staunton as Rose.
“Shhhhh, but don’t tell Patti!”
Petty jealousy is unbecoming.
"I didn't understand Madame Rose". That explains a lot lol. But then again she clearly doesn't understand Joanne either and she's played her three times.
Clickbait title.
Poor patti, the victim. 😳
Patti was jealous Bernadette got the role because Bernadette was BORN to play Mama Rose... Lupone was an afterthought and screamed her way thru the role when she had her opportunity.
Peters lost the Tony tho
So LuPone was an "afterthought" huh? Tell me, who won the Tony for playing Mama Rose again? 🤔
@@music4thesoul80 So the Tony’s have always awarded the deserving winners? Hogwash!
Peters was wrong for the part. She played it like a kitten instead of a wildcat. She was the worst Madame Rose in history.
