Staged Right: Patti LuPone
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 сен 2024
- We're gonna talk about the living legend that is Patti LuPone. Maybe you recognize her from the new Ryan Murphy series on Netflix, "Hollywood". But in nearly five decades, Patti has garnered a career that is nothing short staggering from, "Evita", "Les Miserables", "Sweeney Todd", "Gypsy", or "Company", Patti is one of the greatest talents of our time.
Just to remind you, she is now 72 yo and still hustling and bustling in the world of theatre. What a dedication.
And now she's in Agatha All Along! Patti's probably doing better than ever now! Talk about STAR POWER! (Nancy who?)
I just wanna know what Nancy Collins had against her. What a brutal interview that Patti handled like a queen
She read Nancy Collins for filth on her own show.
What a witch
@Hannah Searcy Sorry, but who the hell was Nancy Collins?
@@derickyyy as she should
I know interviewer, what a be-atch.
Love this! Patti is a legend! Also that interviewer.... my god.
all of those 80's interviewers were in such poor form and carried themselves in such poor taste.
Few of these folks would be allowed to interview today.
I wonder what Patti did with the body after it was done...? Under the swimming pool is my first guess.
Man, I remember when Patti said War Paint would be her last show....and then proceeded to join Company the following year. HAAAAHHH. I had the honour to see her live in 2018, and it was one of the greatest shows I've ever seen. She was so funny, and gracious to the people who were on stage with her, and still so LIVELY. This was at the point where she'd just come back after her hip surgery! And let me tell you I went feral for her in Hollywood...for reasons ;) (if you know you know)
I can' tell you how much i love Patti ! She's just everything. She made Evita one of my favorite shows and I think it's underrated !
I also do drag and love getting do my Evita mix with my big white ballgown.. Obviously Patti is the only inspiration lol
I have noticed that lately, the words "iconic" and "legend" are used incorrectly. Not this time.
I loved her work in Penny Dreadful. This lady can play anything with the same passion and talent as she gives to the stage.
Saw her in Evita, back in the day. At curtain call, I was amazed to see how tiny she actually was when she walked onstage, barefoot and in a hospital gown from Eva’s death scene - after she’d given this powerful, bigger-than-life performance.
I saw her in Evita as well. I didn't have great seats and by time we got out of the theater she was gone so I never got to actually see her "up close" years later when she did her broadway concert I got seats and sat in the first row. I went to the stage door to grab and autograph and I almost fell over when she walked out. She is TINY. I couldn't believe that voice comes out of that small body.
You can tell she’s seen a LOT!! If we only knew the hurdles, obstacles and set backs….a true American icon who sticks up for herself.
I love how real she is. She pulls no punches because she is not afraid to say what is on her mind or what needs to be said. She is a master of of her craft and pushes herself to get better. It was amazing to see her twice in Company here in NY.
Ms. LuPone is the greatest of all time!!! 😍😍😍
Great job with this. God, this makes you realize the breadth of her career, which I should know already since I've been a fan since her Evita days. I think the thing that distinguishes Patti LuPone from all others is she really performs like a superstar and has an incredible singing voice and is a natural actress, but there is something so earthy about her that we still believe she is a real person and we could even know her and be her friend. (She is also very open to communicating with fans - maybe that's it.) I do wish you'd included 01/10/09 - the night Patti stopped the show in the middle of her big finale to verbally destroy an audience member overtly taking pictures during the show. She demanded they be removed from the theatre before continuing and they supposedly were. Many disagreed with Patti's actions, many cheered. I personally believe she had every right to finally stand up and say what she and hundreds of actors have undoubtedly wanted to say thousands of times and but never do: "This my my work, and you're disrupting it. Stop!" Ironically, it is the widely heard bootleg recording itself of that incident that has etched the event into theatrical and LuPone-ical history, and I believe that short soundbite is as much a part of her legendary status as almost anything else.
Well done! Patty IS Broadway! Wish you had included War Paint; she was fantastic and got to see the show from the third row of the theatre. I keep waiting for her Kennedy Center honor; it is long overdue!
yall, her talents are just beyond compare. Listening to her (available) performances on RUclips always gives chills
Patti is brilliant and I adore her. She is also ridiculously beautiful!
I happened to see her senior year show at Julliard where she played opposite Kevin Kline in The School for Scandal. Hilarious.
I saw Patti play Evita in Sydney ... she was staggeringly good and intensely moving in the role ... unforgettable.
Patti's comment about ALW hating women referred to the difficult range of the score, not the quality of the music. She was complimentary about the score of Evita and ALW. It was only after the Sunset experience that she started insulting his music. There is something disingenuous about Patti's post-Sunset comments about ALW and his work, likely coming from pain.
A couple of years ago, she insisted that ALW be the one to make cuts on "Don't Cry for Me Argentina," when Grammy producers insisted that a minute be trimmed from the song before telecast. I saw that as a sign of respect to the composer, regardless of their past differences.
You are absolutely right. Her Sunset tantrum was already tiresome by 1994. Now it’s just pathetic.
@@MondoMiami You've missed the point
@@kevinwilson3609 Actually I understood the point completely. Sorry, am I not allowed to add my own views in “your” comment section? To quote Fat Patti, “WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE!!!??”
She's a goddess in any time!!
While Patti is a superstar of Broadway she will always be to me Becca's Mom on Life Goes On.
I have always loved Patti Lupone, ever since seeing her win the Tony in 1980 for Evita. She is not only a legend, but the best Broadway singer/actress there is!
I so wish I could have seen her in MasterClass, as Maria Callas! Besides the fact that Lupone is my favorite Broadway singing actress, Maria Callas has always been my favorite opera singer! And Patti is PERFECT for the part! Similar personalities (except Lupone seems to have e more confidence), similar mannerisms, similar speaking voices, and even similar in looks! Must have been amazing!
Awesome job! Quick tidbit: part of the reason why the camera caught Reinking at the '76 Tonys was that Patti wasn't there. She was on the road with The Acting Company. Still, they could've shown a photo or something! It's like CBS went "Ah, one brunette is just like another."
That said, *truly* wonderful work here.
Thank you so much for the kind words! I did wonder about why they didn’t catch her but in this interview she did in 2017 with Broadway.com, she mentions at the end the experience of being there in 1976. Which, again, just makes the whole mistake hilarious and odd: ruclips.net/video/nn_qzIKdv2U/видео.html
I love this stuff so much!!
@@StagedRight Hmmm, in her memoir she said she wasn't there..."What's the TRUTH Patti? !What are you hiding?!" lol
Baking It on Broadway! SPINNING A WEB!!
I got to see her sing at the Hollywood Bowl
💕💕💕
I love this channel. Since I don't see a lot of shows, my knowledge of broadway legends in my periphery are really spotty, and I can't help thinking I should know more about them-- and this channel fills that niche so well!
Holy crap that first interview was rough. Was that common behavior in the 80's to talk to someone like that? Im genuinely shocked that someone talked to anyone like that, let alone Patti. Does Patti have star power? are you kidding me. No wonder Patti says whatever the hell she wants in interviews now, that was brutal.
Very nice summation of a complex, fantastically talented woman.
Great video. She is back in good "Company"! :)
My favorite Broadway diva
I adore, respect and am totally wowed by this talent…
First learned of Patti through my obsession with Barbra. Love her.
I saw her on Broadway in Gypsy and Company (not to mention regional concerts). An absolute legend. You need to update this video to add the fantastic Company performance and Tony!!!!!
Patti will be part of the next episode so it’ll be a nice way to revisit her. X
I fucking love this woman
This is everything! A fabulous overview. I’ve listened to her audiobook over and over and you’ve provided so much footage and photos of everything she talks about. This is just wonderful!!! Thank you 🙏🏻
I need to see this interview
Saw her in Sondheims Company in London a few years ago and she was fantastic.
A QUEEN
Great and incredibly well done lightspeed-documentation for the wonderful, extraordinary and outstanding STAR Patti LuPone! Thank you very much.
Thank you
THIS WAS DELIGHTFUL!!!! Yes I needed to yell.
Wonderful! I had no idea it was Patty's brother in A Chorus Line.
He is the boss, chosing the dancers (Zack)... Is so cool right?
@@theoperatripleaxel5417 yes, that's absolutely right!
Patti is one my favorites also. Great video.
brava and thank you!
Wonderful review of the incredible career (still ongoing ) of Ms Patti Lupone. Thank you!
Exciting and very entertaining summary of a career and life well lived and continues to amaze! i'm sure we could talk for hours about our feelings about Hollywood lol
Thanks so much for this- I somehow didn’t know anything about her. I must have been living under a rock. Lol.
Brilliant work!! Thanks for this.
Great video of fabulous carreer!
Love this. Like to hear the full Collins interview. Hoping Patti made mincemeat. Thanks!!
Patti, Patti, oh my Patti !
MY DIAMOND
War Paint was phenomenal!!!!
A very well-done video! Loved every bit ❤️
You are soo good at narrating...fun and interesting!
lets not forget american horror story and her voice of yellow diamond on steven universe
I’m offended my RUclips recommended doesn’t think I know who Patti LuPone is lol
What an informative presentation. Was Ms Lupone ever a guest on Glee? Can you do a video on Glee’s influence on musical theatre? I worked on it for 6 years and would love to know your take on it.
Epic.
What about her performance in the Netflix series "Penny Dreadful"? Stellar.
This is incredibly done. ❤️
"Do you really think you have..."
I thought you were gonna cut to
"...just a little touch of... just a little touch of..." ;)
I keep forgetting she was the sister im witness!
Can I make a request that we get that Bakers Wife video soon
You either got it, or you aint
I don't know what was more brutal: That early interviewer or that annoying rewind-tape sound effect at 2:22.
Do you have an episode on Donna Murphy?
Not yet, but I love her. ❤️
Here after Agatha All Along
... Glen Close' s Norma cant be compared ...She is the best Norma ever
Theatre is harder work than film. The camera did not love Patti's very odd looks. Her charisma works best on stage, like stars like Merman and Channing.
You should get a Patreon! These are great!
I’m considering! Will keep making content in the meantime. Thanks!
What about War Paint?
How did u get find the original west end production???
I always loved Patti's lips... She's hott
Where’s warpaint? :o
Hi! Last year, a subscriber asked a similar question of why I didn't really delve into her career past 2008 and thus to talk more about War Paint or any other TV appearances. My answer: this was 18 months ago and my 2nd episode in a brand new RUclips channel. If I was a better writer then, I would have found a way to loop in the later parts of her career which, in my opinion, compared to accomplishments like Gypsy or even Sweeney Todd, don't hold up as strongly. I also used her memoir as a guide a reference point which concludes in 2011. Again, if I was a better writer and more confident in my voice then, I would have had a different way of writing this and MANY of my earlier episodes. Thanks for watching and hopefully you'll enjoy more episodes coming up!
Glenn Close can't compare to Patti in that Norma Desmond role! Andrew Loyde
Oh, hell, I misspelled her name, cannot even type right anymore, sorry.
no star power.
Nancy Collins is a gd menace to society.
Is it just me or does young Patti kinda look like Anne Hathaway
She’s mother
I just finished "Hollywood" this week. Was any of Patti's story in the show based on her real life?
No.
Great video! Algorithm algorithm
You Patti kinda looks like Gaga
I wasnt gonna comment... but. Im not a fan of PL. Patti ALWAYS plays Patti. I saw her here in Denver in her one woman show as part of a fundraiser for The Eillie Calkins Opera House. It was a dated show, no new material past Evita (and she couldnt reach those high notes anymore). You could tell from the start she didnt want to be there. No interaction with the audiance and they were dying for it. She ran through the numbers and left without a word. I think PL lives high in her own mind.
Belting and screaming??? Really?
Patti is great but she was BUTT BORING in "Sweeney Todd" on B'dway. I saw her. It really was the most boring presentation of that fantastic musical I've seen.
The fact that she hasn’t been a guest judge on Rupaul’s drag race is a crime
100000000%
She basically told that reporter that she is trash at her job. Love me some Patti LuPone
On her own show.
she curled up Nancy's words into a ball and crushed her with them. Patti is a genuis and a class act through and through.
I know it was sad for her, but the store of Pattis pool is absolutely hilarious 😂
I have to agree. She couldn’t have given the pool a better name
I also loved her performance as helena rubinstein in War Paint
War Paint is so underrated!
The way she effortlessly does those 9th(?) drops in "Forever Beautiful" is absolutely jaw-dropping.
I don't understand why that wasn't included here.
I’m a long-time Patti devotee and, I must say, you did a stellar job researching her career and hitting the high points. The video clips and photos are beautifully chosen and collated. Consider me a new, enthusiastic subscriber.
My theatre camp friend, Jane Ohringer was cast (at age 16) to play Peron's Mistress in the original Broadway company of EVITA (her sweet, lovely soprano can be heard singing "Another Suitcase In Another Hall" on the original cast recording). So, I made certain I would see Jane in this Broadway show, but I had only the slightest knowledge of the musical I was about to see or, most importantly, the lady I was about to experience playing the lead role. I'm actually not a huge fan of the show, but Hal Prince's staging was quite innovative at the time and really captured my young imagination as I'd never seen anything that looked like this musical before. And then there was this actress I'd never heard of playing Evita: Patti LuPone I was blown away - the quality and power of the voice, the vocal range that I had NEVER heard from a Broadway star, the incredible physical performance, and the level of acting I had seen only once before on Broadway (Angela Lansbury in GYPSY). I EVITA in early 1980, and by September I was a freshman majoring in musical theatre at Syracuse University.
In June 1983, I came home for a few weeks before doing my first season of summer theatre and saw a few shows in NYC. One of those shows was THE CRADLE WILL ROCK, Off Broadway, at The American Place Theatre. When I sat down and opened my program I was excited to see that Moll (the prostitute) was being played by Patti LuPone. She amazed me again (Google Patti LuPone Cradle Will Rock “Nickel Under the Foot” to see Patti perform the song in the televised version). Beyond loving her performance, I recall being so impressed that after winning the Tony for best actress in a musical three years prior, she was doing this limited run Off Broadway production. It strongly implied this lady was craft oriented vs. career focused.
Patti is one of the great Broadway stars. I’ve had the pleasure of also seeing her in PATTI LUPONE ON BROADWAY, THE OLD NEIGHBORHOOD, MATTERS OF THE HEART, SWEENEY TODD, GYPSY (once at Encores/City Center, twice on Broadway) and WAR PAINT. If you’ve not read her autobiography (Patti LuPone: A Memoir), I recommend it.
Here is a low quality video of a high quality performance - “Rainbow High” during the run of EVITA. The LuPone vocals are full-powered, she drives the tempo at catch-me-if-you-can speed, fulfills the dramatic motivation completely, and is physically astounding, all while the men of the chorus help her change costume on stage, then earrings, gloves, purse, and fur stole. She then dismisses the men and brings it to a quick but thrilling end, including a short walk backwards (!) in the last moments. It’s diva playing diva at its finest.

I loved seeing her in Anything Goes and in Gypsy. Would have killed to have seen her in Sunset Boulevard, front row for both. She is thrilling to watch, especially live. So happy that Ryan Murphy brought her to the show Hollywood- more please! And her concerts are incredible. As soon as it is a reasonable hour, I will be firing up her Les Mouches recording, so happy to learn about it here. She is both a legend and a gem. Great job on this video!!! ❤️
Loved this and I had the PRIVILEGE of seeing her KILL "The Ladies Who Lunch" Twice during a recent trip to NYC. I think an addendum to this piece should include an update on the revival of Copmany.
I’m taking donations for trip to NYC and a ticket to see the show :)
Thoughts on her notoriety as Yellow Diamond especially among the very internet-vocal SU fans? On one hand, I'm very proud of her trying out a role in animation-- truly a queen in any media. But on the other hand, as a fan way before SU was a thing, it gets very annoying and all her accomolishments seem trivialized and shoehorned into "mY dIaMonD". Idrk what to feel.
I mean, it was a role. For the theater geeks, it was a fun little experience. For the rest of us, it was an opportunity to hear from the theater geeks and learn who she is.
I had never known about her before Steven Universe. Very likely still wouldn't know about her.
So, it's priceless.
Yeah, the “my diamond” bit can be a bit annoying but on the other hand, it was thanks to Steven Universe that I discovered her, same thing for the singer Aimee Mann, and I truly love them both now. I think it’s great for people out of the USA to learn about amazing and talented artists like them, I would have never heard from them otherwise and I suppose that I’m not the only one (I’m french by the way).
You said you like anecdotes. Here’s one, sourced from the Minneapolis gay grapevine. After Evita, Patti came to Minneapolis to do As You Like It at the Guthrie theater opposite Val Kilmer. The story goes like this: Patti went to the box office to cash a check, without any ID. The queen in charge refused because she had no ID. Patti protested “But I’m Patti Lupone!” “Patty Lou who?” was the queen’s droll response. Perturbed diva exists, end scene. I think “Patty Lou who?” every time I see her…by the way, I saw AsYou Like It at the Guthrie that year. She was great, but Val Kilmer in tights back then deserves its own video on your channel.
I got to see Company while it was in London in 2018 and when Patti got to the "everybody rise" bit of Ladies who Lunch I realised I was crying. Like lots of tears just falling out of my eyes and running down my face. It was just overwhelming to be hearing THAT voice live, a voice pushing 70 with that kind of strength (I don't want to be patronising but that is unusual) performing with such passion, conviction and confidence in her powers but with a hint of vulnerability. It really was a magical moment and I can't believe how lucky I am.
I feel out of place because I discovered Patti LuPone from the show Steven Universe xD.. she was my favourite Diamond and one of the best characters of the show
I'd be fascinated by a video on Betty Buckley's career not going where it should have gone. It's fascinating seeing the reasons (or alleged reasons) why she never had a hit again after "Cats," or had a film high since the underrated/under-seen "Tender Mercies."
Wow....that woman couldn't have asked those questions in a more condescending tone.
Full Tilt Theatre Diva Queen and I LOVE HER!
Good grief, the interviwer had so much venom in her voice. How the hell was any of that called for???
What the actual fuck was that interview??
"Let's see, it says here you're a million years old and you don't have a husband, what are you even doing with your life? Don't you want cHiLDrEN?!?!"
