She’s so right about the obstacles to getting into the theatre and the depth of the productions…producers are trying to make the most amount of money possible (so ridiculous ticket prices), while making the things (spectacle & jukebox/Disney musicals) that will become tourist attractions. It’s sad

Come on, if you put musicals like Harry Potter, Sponge Bob, Spider man, mean girls, Bittlejuce and set up outrageous prices, there’s no real theater left, it indeed becomes “Las Vegas”

Exactly. It's also supposed to be accessible to everyone - not a luxury to go broke over.

Right. Theater shouldn’t be something you do once a year on your birthday, like it’s an exotic treat. That attitude is fundamentally wrong, but it’s here to stay, and there’s a reason for it.

Still going strong! 🙌 Patty Lupine as Evita, the soundtrack, was my intro to Broadway. I'm forever grateful. 🙏 Shout out to Mandy as well. 😁 Oof, her critique of current productions rings true. 😭

I just watched the Penny Dreadful series. I fast forward through the opening credits so I was in the dark about Patty’s performance. When the old woman healer came on and started talking, I recognized the way Patty speaks and sort of curls her left side of her mouth. I loved it. I didn’t expect to be graced by Miss LuPone. Loved her resurrection as the New York shrink. She had some great lines as the cast of good guys went to rescue Vanessa Ives. Sorry. If you haven’t seen this, spoiler alert, rather late I suppose. I am so happy to see that we will be graced with more of her. I would love to see her whole performance in Evita. The bedroom politics scene was priceless. I could hear the wheels turning in Peron’s head as she laid out the strategy of his campaign. When what’s her name got the part in the movie, I was so disappointed. Loved Antonio as Che.

Could someone let Patti know that Harry Potter and the Cursed Child (the show she allegedly saw… ISNT a musical?

This is tricky because some of her outbursts in the recent past have been totally ridiculous and the antithesis of stagecraft. However, shes right about current Broadway. I do wish she'd address Equity more directly, because it is indeed a circus. The leadership in the union has been atrocious the last two years...and continues.
