  • this version may not be as good as it gets but i saw one of Ms LuPone interpretation... it was not bad... she did jsutice and have lived the character... maybe we just became used to the recent interpreters that we find this as "rubbish"... this version maybe but MS LuPone as the character is not.. i am a Lea Salonga fan, but i do give credit to mi LuPone... The producers will not choose her if she could not deliver the part, better ones usually come after, but the originals will alway be.. 

  • @donmaster1205 i totally agree with you!

  • Random scoops that don't fit, and just plain PITCHY! I still love you Patti, but whoo doggie this is pretty bad.

  • The most awful version I've ever heard. And yes I've heard the SuBo version too.

  • I fell in love with this show from the first double album with Ms Lupone. My heart broke with her Fantine. I love Ruthie Henshall coz she gets more light and shade - But as Sondheim says in his book, you fall for actors who play characters that you first hear/see play the roles. Lupone's Fantine has power - I could well see her skanking her way through the gutters... And the strength to leave her family for this cad who knocked her up.

  • Another over-rated hack ala, streisand and dion.

  • The only good thing I can say about her is that she's got guts -- that's for sure.

  • @ryer3 And, if you've ever heard her talk about this run, I forget which interview, but she says that she was constantly in a rush to die so she could get out of the wig, have a drink and smoke a cigarette. There was one particular performance I've heard her speak of several times where she left the Valjean and Eponine hanging for the finale because she under-estimated her timing.

  • @ryer3 Agreed, its hard to believe we are already at the point in history where performance art in the early 90s looks dated, just like the work of Edwin Booth and Sandra Bernhardt looked dated a few generations before.

  • @TobyGoTv SHUT UP SHES MY IDOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • A bit understated for Ms. LuPone, she did after all chew off the very scenery in her "Evita" days. Still a valid performance. Don't be sayin' nothin' bad about Ms LuPone!

  • she did well!!!!!!!!
