Random Patti!



 I want the attitude.
I want the outfit.
C'est Patti LuPone! 

 As Reno Sweeney in the 1987 revival of Anything Goes...
Best Revival Tony that year!
Patti received a nomination for Best Actress in a Musical.

 With Michael Cerveris in the 2005 revival of 
Sweeney Todd
(and below with another co-star, her tuba),
and another nomination for PLP!


 In Sunset Boulevard, in London...
1993.
Though promised the role on Broadway,
Andrew Lloyd Webber
gave Glenn Close the opportunity.

 As Eva Peron in Evita, 1979.
A Tony for Patti,
and Best Musical Tony...the first British musical 
to win this honor.



 The 2008 revival of Gypsy,
and everyone of this trio won Tony Awards:
Laura Benanti, Patti, and Boyd Gaines.

 As Genevieve in Stephen Schwartz's 
The Baker's Wife,
a show that died "on the road" 
and has never actually made it to Broadway.
Patti replaced Carole Demas in the role
mid-try outs.
 
 As Helene Rubenstein in War Paint,
co-starring with Christine Ebersole as Elizabeth Arden.
A Scott Frankel/Michael Korie creation from 2017.
