Theater Talk: Sweeney Todd's Patti LuPone and Michael Cerveris

[victoriaindigo]

The amazing Patti LuPone, so in demand she has to turn down roles! I hope she will also do another TV role on a hit show like she did with Life Goes On.

@victoriaindigo Well, she said that she would, as long as it were a sitcom or another multi-camera series, where as "Life Goes On" was a single-camera dramatic series.

[victoriaindigo]

@cfronck Yeah, she's done Will and Grace and Ugly Betty, 30 Rock, she definitely seems to prefer comedy.

She'd be great on Law & Order SVU, either in a guest role or permanent

There's nothing she can't do IMO

Haha, I love how Patti tries to play off the "Into The Woods" question.

She was in negotiations for the role, however, so were other actresses.

For reasons that have never been revealed, she ultimately wasn't given the part, and her 'wanting to be Cinderella' had nothing to do with it.

Her Mrs. Lovett was *amazing* though. Talk about being robbed of a Tony.
