| Member Name: | Patti LuPone FANatic | | Contact User: | You must be logged in to contact BWW members. | | Gender: | Male | | Location: | Austin, Texas | | Occupation: | Pre-Kindergarten teacher | | Profile: | My name is Roman. I'm 57 years of age, born on November 11, 1961 and a native born Texan. I first saw Miss Patti in concert at the Paramount Theatre (Austin) in 1996. I finally got to meet her in person at the same theatre in November 2000. I've met her also in Dallas (2001), San Francisco(July 2001: spoke with her briefly as she left in her limousine).. met her backstage in Houston, Texas (November 2003), saw her perform in "Regina" in March 2005 in D.C. and last saw her in her dressing room at the Eugene O'Neill Theatre (March 2006) following her performance in "Sweeny." Most recently, I traveled to NYC in May 2007 to see "Avenue Q", "Drowsy Chaperone", "A Chorus Line" and saw the fabulous Angela Lansbury in "Deuce." Both Angela and Marian Seldes were delightful at the stage door. Most recently, I had the wonderful chance to see Miss Patti backstage in Dallas (on January 22, 2008) when she performed her "Coulda, Woulda, Shoulda" show on the SMU campus. She was a "doll." Next stop, NYC.. and "Gypsy" on June 10, 2008. I most recently saw Miss Patti in San Antonio, Texas after her "An Evening With Patti LuPone and Mandy Patinkin". She is coming to Austin in March 2010. I have my tickets.
During my last trip to NYC in June 2010, I saw: "La Cage Aux Folles, "Addams Family" and "Dietrich and Chevalier." In March 2011, I saw "Lombardi", "Priscilla Queen of the Desert", "Wicked" and "Chicago." I can safely say that "Chicago" is now my FAVORITE musical. I just saw Terra McLeod (Velma) and Tracy Shayne (Roxie) in the national tour of "Chicago" in Fort Worth, TX (6 18 2011). Then, I saw "Chicago" once more the following weekend in Houston. Now, "Chicago" is my favorite musical. I saw: "Chicago" on June 8, 2013; "The Nance" on Sat. June 9th and also "Pippin." Finally, I saw "Vanya, Sonia, Masha and Spike" on Sun. June 10, 2013. I LOVED Pippin. It was so magical! |

It's the most cringy and bsckwards." I've read a few of the reviews on James Corden. Many are not happy at his casting or his portrayal of the character he's playing. When I saw "The Prom" on Broadway, it made me laugh so much. I got such joy at the end of the show. I

I saw the entire interview. He displayed a bit of emotion when recalling his experiences of visiting some of the WWII concentration camps. It is quite telling that when Paul Wontorek gave him a chance to express any regret or remorse for some of the things he wrote about, Riedel was unwilling or unable to admit that he'd been unfair to people on certain occasions. Towards the end, he points out his Endora (Bewitched) t shirt he was wearing.

Hello Brody. Someone mentioned before that now would be a perfect time to give the Ambassador a good scrubbing or something else to improve the theatre. Speaking of the show, it would be beneficial to add/modify some of the steps/choreography. For example, I've never been a fan of that part where Velma pushes out her posterior before she does that scissor movement with her legs. Over the years, I've been aware of some minor adjustments to the choreography. I wo

It's always nice to see a post from a longtime veteran member of this site. I am hopeful that "Chicago" will return. As I understand it, the show is one of the most economical to run on Broadway.

There are certain names that stick in my mind from the "old days." Reginald T is one. CapNHook is another. From time to time, I've locked horns with critics. I found a way to deal with them. I've used the ignore feature from time to time. But if I have to go back and reflect on a particular person who is unforgettable (for all the right reasons), that would be MargoChanning, without a doubt. It's kind of interesting that most of
