“You can’t kill Broadway.” Leading lady Patti LuPone reflects on Evita, Gypsy, and the power of “vital” theater. via NewYorker
Patti LuPone’s basement looks like a cross between a penny arcade, a TGI Fridays, and an after-hours piano bar. You’ve probably seen it, too, if you’ve followed her on social media in recent weeks. From her home in Kent, Connecticut, where she’s riding out the storm with her husband and her twenty-nine-year-old son, LuPone has been staving off boredom, and entertaining her fans, with virtual tours of her impressive tchotchke collection.
“Company” was supposed to open in March. That obviously didn’t happen. Do you know if the show will continue after this is over? It’s very hard. I keep wondering: Is this aliens sending a message? Is this Mother Earth sending a message? Is there so much negative energy on Earth right now that we created this virus? You do your best to stay positive.No, actually. I remember when I was doing “Gypsy” and [the journalist] Richard Schlesinger came to my dressing room. That was 2009, and we had the crash, and [Richard] said to me, “Do you think this is gonna affect Broadway?” And, “You can’t kill Broadway.
You see, I don’t censor myself. I’ve never censored myself, and that’s probably a very big flaw of mine, but I don’t know how to be diplomatic. I’m an Italian. I think I would feel ill if I suppressed it., you know, I was in New York City when this guy rose to fame. He’s always been a shyster. He’s always been a con man. He’s always had this braggadocio. And I just don’t understand how people don’t see that, because he’s not serving anybody but himself. But this is old news.
In America, I do not look beautiful to me. When I go to Italy, I go, “What’s the big deal, Patti? You look like everybody else!” We were in Rome a couple of years back, and I saw a Roman woman who was so sensual, and so voluptuous. I went, That’s beauty. And she was big! She wasn’t, you know, the classic Sophia Loren or Gina Lollobrigida beauty. But she had a thing going on.
It’s not a bad place. What’s upsetting is what’s going on in the world. Are we going to come out of this?
