Patti Lupone playing a loud, brash, and crazy Momma Rose! Patti may not be the best actress, per se, but she is definitely a hardcore performer. [3.25.2008]

  • @DivaBehavior There are other versions of this preformance that she has done a little different check that out if you want but I disagree with you that she is wooden, how the hell is wooden? I have never seen her wooden.

  • @broadwayloverny10

    Sometimes I love Patti, sometimes I don't like her. I simply don't like this performance. It just seems like a bunch of yelling and actions that aren't backed up by any inner justification. To each his own.

  • I love patti. But she terrifies me.

    And her diction sucks.

  • @BlueJeanBaby012

    She's sort of wooden, isn't she? I don't see why she received accolades for her performance in this role.

  • @DivaBehavior running all over the stage doesn't make a performance. stillness on the stage is a skill that very few actors have and Patti LuPone has it.

  • @TheBohemianTenor

    Patti, like Bette Midler works from the outside-in. That makes many of her performances seem artificial, fake, and wooden. I find that the actresses who are the most truthful, lifelike, and stunning -- Bernadette Peters, for example (and also actresses like Glenn Close and Meryl Streep) -- work from the inside-out. This makes the actions come from somewhere within. It's compelling and it's entirely human.

  • Of course I will say, this whole dressing room scene was the most devastating of all! Leading into this song makes for a very powerful finale!!

  • Well, Patti is absolutely amazing no matter what anyone says, she has all the components of a Broadway legend and is also extremely nice and down to earth in person. Patti is Queen. Period.

  • @DivaBehavior Replying to a comment from a year ago isn't a norm for me, but I couldn't help but vehemently disagree with your appraisal of Lupone's acting. In case you don't know much about her training, she was actually taught to "work from the inside-out," as you put it. Lupone becomes a character, rather than acting like one: Rose Horvick was mentally unstable, and having a nervous breakdown at this point. With this in mind, I find Patti Lupone's rendering to be more truthful and lifelike.

  • I'm singing this song 4 my audition!!

  • And my nickname is Rose!!

  • She really captures the psychotic break and that's why she is my favorite

  • Ever seen a Bipolar person in the midst of a break-down manic episode? This should be the poster in Times Square of what its like! I should know because I have it! She is perfect!

  • Not my favorite Rose, not the best singing, and not the best acting, but I do really like Patti's interpretation. Her Rose is deliciously unhinged, it's disturbing, it's wild, it's crazy, and I find myself really liking it. You can really see her psychotic break from reality here...and perhaps its not exactly what was supposed to happen as written, but I think its interesting.

    Though I'll always prefer Angela Lansbury and Bernadette Peters, I can't help but like Patti's version.

  • "not the best actress per se?" Are you kidding me?

  • I do not see wooden... 

  • I heard this on the radio yesterday and I was shocked and appalled. Watching it is only slightly less disturbing. I also saw her performance in the theater. By the time she did this, I just wanted a drink...or several to be honest! Having seen this show several times, live and on the screen, with all the usual suspects, I have to say that I find this interpretation absurd. Unless the whole thing is occurring in a mental institution... and they forgot to give Rose her Thorazine! Patti was a divi
