Patti Lupone
Patti Lupone achieved stardom on the Broadway stage with the title role in the musical Evita, to the point where she’s complained that she’s been typecast as a “blond fascist dictator.” But she’s also played Norma Desmond in Sunset Boulevard, Maria Callas in Master Class, won an Olivier award (the British equivalent of the Tony) for her role in the Royal Shakespeare Company production of Les Miserables, had audiences rolling in the aisles in Noises Off, and has performed her own cabaret revue at Linclon Center. Let’s see what this versatile actress and singer has in her cultural survival kit.
