@scotpj I think it's Che. He starts to sing "Rainbow Tour" immediately after and Che carries a prop cigar sometimes.

Was the LA production's tempo sped up? it seems so...

hmmm this sounds like Patti I am a Patti fanatic and this sounds like her but there are things missing. nooo this isnt her all though Loni does a hell of a job in the beginning sounding like her.

@EZYCHEESY i have the OLC recording, and she's ok as eva, but other than a press reel vid clip of rainbow high, never really saw her in performance. however, LOVED her in sunset..the best to play norma on broadway maybe? she was the happy medium between glenn (over the top performance) and betty (boring...put me to sleep.) and love elaine as piaf!!!

@EZYCHEESY are you kidding me? i'll never forget when i saw patti on b'way when i was in 8th grade. then i saw derin altay, and now i realize she wasn't bad, but she was no patti. then i saw teri klausner, nancy opel 3x, loni, flo and i can remember being so disappointed that none of them were as VISCIOUS as patti. now i can look at each actress and admire what they have done, but the way patti attacked (i think that is a good description) the role, i have to say she is unmatched as eva

Wow. I didn't think I could like anyone as much as Patti LuPone. This chick can wail. What a fantastic voice.

What's with the guy SL of center smoking?

I saw Patti Lupone at the Dorothy Chandler Pavillion in Los Angeles and Loni Ackerman at the Shubert. Both were excellent. I preferred Loni.
Why does it have to be that the good quality video is of someone other than Patti, while the videos of Patti are low quality? :(

patti had some pretty bad reviews in this role even though she won the tony, it wasn't until she got to australia she felt comfortable in this part, the show was still an evolving animal at this stage, don't get me wrong, being british i think patti lupone is the most amazing performer, but whoever plays the role will always be compared to some one else. we all have our favourites, and lorni is pretty damn excelent!!!
