No one can sing this role like Patti!! I wish she would revisit this role because it's 20years later and she is the right age for it now. Critics were bitching back then that she was too young for the role of a has been actress. The Toad needs to rework this production and offer it once again to Patti.
The one thing I can't stand about YouTube is the petty, insecure people who think they have to "defend" their favorite star as the "best" or better than everyone else who's ever played a certain role. Norma is one of those rare roles that are written so perfectly (like Mama Rose) that it's impossible to suck them. Everyone brings something great to their performance. Patti, Betty, Glenn, Elaine were all terrific in their own specific ways.
God. her voice is SO perfect for this part. No one out-crazys or divas Lupone. why didn't ALW pull his head out of his ass long enough to realize that. oh well, the show was not a great piece of work anyway, so maybe it was better in the long run.
I am obsessed with this. I just can't get enough of Patti :) This, With One Look, and New Ways to Dream are definitely my favorite numbers from the show. Pity there's nothing of Patti singing New Ways to Dream on youtube.

I thought Glenn Close was great, but Patti was amazing.
