The title of the play is the title of the book ( and also the PBS show about these two very famous women ), that this play is based on.
All of you who claim to NEVER having heard of Patti LuPone, probably don't go to any Broadway shows/don't keep up with any news about the theatre, and/or wouldn't know the name of ANY actor or actress, for the past 1p0 years, who only performed on Broadway and nowhere else. SO JUST STOP POSTING ABOUT THINGS YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING AT ALL ABOUT !
And for those who claim that Patti hasn't been doing anything since EVITA....YOU don't know what you're talking about either! I bet that EVITA is the ONLY show you know that she was in ! *snicker*
And before anyone decides to try to take me down, because of what I have posted, be it known that I am truly disgusted by what LuPone said and besides the fact that there hasn't been anything much, worth a damn to see on Broadway, for close to 30 years now, and what few things might be, the price of the tickets ( thanks to the unions ! )just isn't worth the experience...so I have been boycotting Broadway for that length of time!
The theatre, Hollywood, and T.V. is just crap and filled with people who can't act, direct, write, etc. and in another age, wouldn't even be able to get a job in a road show; let alone a regional theatre production!
Actually some of us know who Patti Lupone is and maybe have even seen her perform.
The last time I saw her she was the lead in Anything Goes and IIRC it was at Lincoln Center. I had second row center seats - courtesy of the half-price ticket office. I was glad I didn’t pay full price because she was loud and off key. She was a Martha Raye on steroids. The show was great, she was not great.
