I have no idea, however I attended a talk she did with Michael Kahn (Classic Conversations) in Washington D.C. in February and I distinctly remember her saying that it would have to be a REALLY great show/role, which makes sense when you hear her talk about theatre now-a-days compared to what it used to be. I think I even remember her saying that she wouldn't care if it was off-Broadway or not, which I loved hearing her say.
Anyway, I'm pretty sure she's going to be in the Los Angeles Opera in The Ghosts of Versailles next year, I think?

Well, La LuPone is now a new cast member for Season 2 of the Showtime series PENNY DREADFUL so don't expect to see her on Broadway any time soon. Not in anything new which would require an extended amount of her commitment which would interfere with her duties on that cable series.

Posted: 9/9/14 at 9:18pmShe's a guest star, not a series regular. I suppose her availability would depend on how large a role it is/ how frequently she'll be appearing.

She's only a guest star, though, so that might mean only one episode.
But yes, she's doing Ghosts of Versailles with the LA Opera early next year, and then Candide in Baltimore in June. But Michael Musto had hinted at a collaboration with Bridget Everett, and this profile on Everett mentions that again: http://blogs.villagevoice.com/runninscared/2014/09/bridget_everett.php?page=all
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.

I think that would be a terrible casting choice, and an even worse career move. She's performing Monday night in the Gershwin at the Uprising of Love performance. I just got tickets on tix4students.com.

I think she should play Major-General Stanley in THE PIRATES OF PENZANCE because I think it would be hilarious to have Patti's diction on the infamous song from that show.

Couldn't agree with you more Phillypinto. I think Patti, a legendary leading lady with a legendary ego to match would think that being the 5th replacement Berthe, a small supporting role in a 2 year old show would be the perfect next role for her. I can't understand why everyone can't see what you and I see. Can you just imagine seeing her yelling from the trapeze at an audience member whose phone went off? Broadway gold.

Don't feel bad. At least you can still show your mom how many people responded to your eloquently stated thread asking for a list of performers "who really sucked in their show".

Casting gold, madbrian!
Get Jessie Mueller for Angel and you'd have an amazing show!

Posted: 9/11/14 at 7:40pmI would love to see her play Fraulein Schneider in Cabaret but I'm still waiting for an Into the Woods broadway revival with her as the witch.
