It was definitely a highlight. I do hope she does a few solo shows whilst she’s in town. God so do I! How amazing. Though guess she doesn't do With One Look and As If We Never Said Goodbye anymore. Desperate for the day her and ALW kiss and make up. (Though as she said to Norton, that ain't ever gonna happen...) You say that....! Original key, no key change down either, as it originally was!! Felt very, very luck to have been there on a night she sang it. |

Norma Desmond. The original. The best. |

I saw Patti play Joanne in the Lincoln Centre's version of Company (I was sitting right behind Stephen Sondheim) and she was friggin' amazing. She stole the whole show, not only with her spectacular 'Ladies Who Lunch', but also with her facial expressions during all the dance numbers.

Apart from thread star Patti LuPone...? 😉 She wore a blonde curly poodle wig though, IIRC It looks more red in photos, but I see what you mean! |

She actually sang With One Look in her recent concert with Seth Rudetksy in New York (Deconstructing Patti) which was quite the event. |

So pleased she still sings it! Although be even happier if she did AIWNSG as well! Feel v lucky to have seen her several times in Sunset's original run. |

I may have wet myself a little too. Is it you shouting "we love you Patti" and "do Sunset!" Reminds me of shouting at Sandra in The Brewers "do Life/Brown Girl/Rivers" etc etc.... |

Judging by your avatar photograph, Dom- a) It's not really you...  b) It is you but it's a very old photograph...  c) It is you and boy, don't you look good for your age...!  d) You're fibbin'. You'd like to have seen her but you didn't really...  e) You genuinely think you've seen her but you're getting mixed up; you actually saw Glenn Close (or was it Ria Jones?) last year at the Coli  f) You must have been about three when you saw her in the original London run...  Fess up! |

Fess up! Haha, brilliant! Photo is three years old I think so I was 37 (am 40 now). Is well lit lol. I was 17 when Patti was in Sunset; I grew up on the ALW mega musicals #gayboyheaven! (Appreciate this is going off topic but lucky to have been old enough that have seen nearly all the UK Normas. Off to see Ria in Leicester tmr) Back to Company, listened to Ladies Who Lunch a few times now and am indeed salivating at the thought of LuPone delivering it (though still hoping they'll let her duet Being Alive as an encore. |

I take it you know Patti Lupone's Live album from 1993? Great version of Being Alive- my absolute favourite version! |

Need to dig it out; is somewhere in my parent's house! |

I see this has become the homage to Patti LuPone website, and why not. I am ashamed to admit that I saw Patti's solo show as part of the Sydney Festival some years ago but alas, being totally jet-lagged after the dreaded direct flight from London, I remember little about it except that I thought it was brilliant.
But if I may return to Company, I remember being hugely impressed by the original London production with Larry Kert, Donna McKechnie and Elaine Stritch in 1972, but that was back in the days when boys were boys........OK, OK, stop throwing things at me. I'll go back into my own personal time warp if I can find a taxi. Uber???

(Incidentally, I love the way she uses the music to sing With One Look in that Youtube video, flipping over the pages as if to remind us that the song isn't that important to her she can still remember the words!) I love one of the comments left under the video which says, "Glenn Close does it way more better" [sic] Mmmm... As you say, back to Company... |

So..in her latest concert, LuPone said that she accepted to play Joanne in this version because the producers sent her a video of the workshop.
Who was in the workshop (besides Rosalie Craig)?

I got a bit of shock when the tickets for this arrived today - I'd half-forgotten I booked for it. November 2018. 2018!! I must have been mad.
