"Noel [Coward] and I were in Paris once. Adjoining rooms, of course. One night, I felt mischievous, so I knocked on Noel's door, and he asked, 'Who is it?' I lowered my voice and said 'Hotel detective. Have you got a gentleman in your room?' He answered, 'Just a minute, I'll ask him.'" (Beatrice Lillie)

Kills me that I can't get to NYC to see this show -- sounds personal, painful, relatable, and hilarious... and uhm, yeah... if Miss Patti herself is coming to see it, I'd say it's worth checking out!! I bet her wonderful cackle will be the loudest in the audience tonight!
Break a leg, Ben... wherever you are.... ; )

Posted: 9/6/12 at 12:54pmDon't worry, Reg. If I live through tonight, you'll hear all about it.
When I see the phrase "the ____ estate", I imagine a vast mansion in the country full of monocled men and high-collared women receiving letters about productions across the country and doing spit-takes at whatever they contain.

Posted: 9/6/12 at 12:58pmI think Patti will be VERY surprised by the material that is not about her--and very moved.

The show's doing really well: It keeps selling out and extending.
And Patti saw it and loved it.

Great review.
I saw it for a second time last night, with a group of (straight) friends who had no particular interest in Patti LuPone. Everyone loved it.

Wow, the Duplex run is STILL extending, he's doing several performances on the West Coast, he's nominated for two MACs, and
he's receiving a Bistro Award

Posted: 2/26/13 at 11:25amI'll be in town in mid-March, so I was VERY happy to see this latest extension. I'm looking forward to this more than anything else on my trip.

Saw it last night. Two more performances left.
If you haven't seen it yet, be sure to book your tickets at The Duplex!
It's as wonderful as I expected it to be and more...
