Not sure if this has been mentioned elsewhere yet, but from ATC:
A friend of mine just went on a cruise that Patti Lupone headlined in the Caribbean, just after Gypsy's closing.
She does a great concert (coulda woulda shoulda) people are videoing and taking pictures the whole show...she does all her greatest Don't Cry for me Arg., Being Alive, Some People, Ladies who Lunch, and finally at the end...
as a closer, she sings "...just the way you look tonight"...with a disposable camera...and takes pictures of the crowd the whole time.
"Artists are always on the vanguard of change: they give the community a vision."
"Desire comes from the Latin "de sire", or "of the father", or "of the stars". We want what is magical, what is out there, what is of the stars. And so our characters should as well."
"If there are people who don't believe in you, don't hang out with them. Wish them well, wish them peace, and move on."
- Lol. She has a very busy year in store. Her tour with Mandy. Her solo shows in Vegas. And a guest appearance on 30 Rock. And of course there's the GYPSY in London rumors. The woman will have no problem finding work.

The cruise was the Atlantis gay cruise on Royal Caribbean's Freedom of the Seas, the world's largest cruise ship: 3,700 gay men (and some lesbians) on a "floating paradise" to San Juan, St Maarten and Labradee--a private island that becomes "the Caribbean’s only all-gay island for the day, featuring pristine beaches, breathtaking scenery, and a host of spectacular water activities."
The other entertainment on the ship included 5 DJ's for the legendary Atlantis all-night shirtless sweaty dance parties and cabaret, nightclub and piano-bar performers, including a gay hypnotist, Alec Mapa, Scott Nevins, Lindsay Alley and the VGL Boys.
They should have had audience participation with everyone i standing in unison and singing "STOP! Who do you THINK YOU ARE!?!" every time she clicked the camera.

I wonder if she asks the crowds for THEIR autographs at the stage door? She should be all fussy and pushy asking that they sign multiple items and look all pissy if they aren't completely obliging.
That'll show 'em!

although sometimes I'm convinced some of the people on BWW are Patti in disguise. it would all just be too ironic.
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 wonder when Patti was booked by Atlantis to perform on this cruise. I bet whoever books their entertainment worked really fast to get her once it was announced that Gypsy was closing. Or was she originally scheduled to have that week off from Gypsy, had the show still been running? Anybody know?
