In this video Marc discusses Patti's legendary performance as the character of Joanne from the Stephen Sondheim musical "Company".
Patti LuPone just IS musical theatre. A legend through and through.
Patti is one of those people you feel like you can't even get to her level because she is a freaking GODDESS!.....but she is also one of those personalities that you feel like would be an awesome neighbor!
I was praying to God that this would be the performance you would react to, especially because Elaine Stritch was right there to enjoy it.
And stood up immediately!!
I was so fortunate to see her do this live twice when Company was in the West End. That production was incredible and Patti got a standing ovation at the end of this song each time. She was so captivating and so powerful. It's a masterpiece of a performance.
I saw Patti LuPone in the West End she took the roof off. John Sivorn
I saw that performance, too. It was fantastic. I was so excited to see Patti Lupone in person!
I saw it twice too! I met her at stage door both times as well, I have her autograph. She was phenomenal. I was sitting on the front row right in front of her during one of the shows, she blew me away.
One thing that stood out to me on this viewing of that amazing performance is that Patti just planted herself in one spot, hands on hips, and didn't move (aside from a very few hand gestures) until those last "rise" notes.
Please do Elaine's performance of I'm Still Here from this same concert.
Watching a very elderly Elaine Stritch jump up and down while sing-screeching (I say it with love) “I’m still here! Look who’s here!” will never not make everything better.

Spot on! Sondheim gives you, as an actor, so many layers. When you combine that with great musical theater actors like Lupone, who can find layers in any character/song, it’s a recipe for an amazing experience. That said, with that combination, what kind of influence can/should the director have? Again, thanks for the Sondheim 🙏
Its a great question Chris. And I touch on that in my recent Q&A video. ua-cam.com/video/f5iQ_2XXKMg/v-deo.html
Loved this concert performance. This entire section was incredible. I’d love to hear your take on Marin’s “Losing My Mind” and Donna’s “Could I Leave You”. Polar opposites but from the same show.
Great review. Her best performance of this song was the staged concert with Neil Patrick Harris. She throws her drink into the audience. And the audience loved it.
I would love to hear your interpretation of three songs: Stephanie J. Block - Holding to the Ground, Falsettos (strong woman performance). and/or What More Can I Say - Christian Borle (the first love song between two men written and performed on Broadway) and/or What Would I Do - Christian Borle & Andrew Rannells.
Yes Dennis that was her best performance of that
Please react to more from the red lady’s at the 80th birthday concert. All were so incredible.
My favorite of them was Donna Murphy singing Would I Leave You
@@thomasbradley4505 Donna was amazing! I'd also love to see a reaction to that incredible performance.
I agree i thought they were all brilliant
I see Patti, I click.
This was great, per usual. And while I don't usually do the 'can you do' thing, I'd be super interested to hear your thoughts on Kristin Chenoweth's take on "Glitter and Be Gay". And there's bonus Patti, which is always a win.
I love this performance so much, but I am throughly enjoying you enjoying her.
I just like Marc's videos before they even start playing... LOL cuz they're ultimately always full of quality, entertaining and educational tid bits.
Aww, thanks so much :)
She is truly one of the greats!! And thank you for doing these. It's been many, many years since I've been in a musical and these bring back such great memories ❤️ Almost makes me want to get back out there and do some community theater again! 😀
Her voice sailing over that Bossa Nova beat ...when she sings, "aren't they a gem..." A Wonderful and loving review of this performance.
Have you done any other Patti Lupone reactions? She’s such a powerhouse singer/performer. Thanks for your channel!
This video was everything I hoped for and more, your content is incredible 👏
I'm in awe with Patti LuPone!!! Great analysis! Thank you for posting this.
thank you for this!! :) I adoro Patti! she's so great. And she's done this song in so many different ways already, but always with a handful of traits that are constant! just GOLD ! We need you to react to her more!! :)
I saw Patti in Company in the London West End last year. What came across in this number then was the character’s sadness. It was a deeply moving production made sharper by changing some of the genders of the characters.
One of my absolute favorite performances from this legend. I just love her so much!
Thank you! Brilliant! Great reaction!
WAITING FOR THIS! Yay!
YES!!! I love sondheim!!! I so appreciate your videos. I wish id had these while i was actually training, you are truly invaluable to young theatre actors :)
Thanks so much. appreciate that.
I am sooo glad you reviewed Patti Lupone. Am a HUGE fan of hers.
I actually flew to London years ago just for the weekend to see and hear her in Sunset Boulevard and her vocals were brilliant.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I've been binge watching all of your videos. I love your breakdowns and explanations. I got my start in musical theatre and this is just bringing me back. Great Channel, Marc!
Thank you so much.
@@MarcDanielPatrick
I love this! I was able to see her play this part in London last year, and she was phenomenal in this role. Seeing this song in context just gave it even more impact for me!
Please react to Donna Murphy's "Could I Leave You." That's my favorite performance from that show
I truly enjoy your videos and adored the adoration on your face for our fierce Ms. Patti LuPone.
Legendary performer! Legendary Song/Composer.
I’ve never seen that admiring eyes before u look like me when I watch her ❤️❤️ u captured my soul
Like Seth Rudetsky, you’re so knowledgable, but your face still lights up as you listen to these clips. I love seeing the passion and love you have for musical theatre. It makes me love it that much more.
I also love Barbara Walsh's rendition from the previous Bway revival.
Brilliant! And what a great idea for a channel. Patti LuPone is so good I cry every time I see this.
Ahh, thanks so much.
This is my most favorite version of this song. Not only is Patti a brilliant talent, she's a great human being.
I was fortunate to be in the audience that amazing night. Every piece was a showstopper, each building upon the next. We kept thinking, "It can't get any better", but it did! Then the finale… seemingly all of Broadway processed down the aisles (it was a Monday, so Broadway was dark) singing "Sunday"- mind blowing, leaving not a dry eye in the house. Months later, watching the DVD, I was shocked to see myself in frame whenever they cut to Stephen; my seat lined up perfectly with the shot. In the clip at 1:40, I'm there with beard and glasses, two rows in front of Stephen and to his left. I just paged through the Playbill and Program from that night, bringing back so many memories. Before the concert I met Stephen, wished him a happy birthday and thanked him for all the music that has been the soundtrack to the highs and lows of my life. Thank you for this and all your videos, and for triggering such wonderful reminiscences!
I’ve seen Patti live more than a dozen times and she never ceases to amaze me! She commands the stage, all eyes go to her and she just shines in everything I’ve seen her in. There is no one like her and I don’t think there ever will be.
I only was her in concert once, a few years ago in a small venue in San Francisco. Around 150-200 seats. She was incredible
Thomas Bradley.... She is wonderful!!
Patti is one of my all time favorites. I never particularly loved this song but after hearing your break down and watching several interpretations I’d actually like to give this one a try sometime. Personal challenge💪🏼
I have this marvelous neighbor who is usually sitting in front of my building as I'm off to the gym. When he asks me where I'm going I break into my rendition of Patti LuPone's 'Lady's Who Lunch' which tickles him to no end. May he RIP. He had the same look on his face that u have on yours when watching Patti sing this song. I think I've found a kindred soul!
Aww, thanks for sharing.
I would love to see you talk about each of the performers from this section of the concert, each of the “ladies in red’ were master classes in performance...
Patti is the best! whenever I hear her sing this song I get goose bumps
I do hope you realise your face expresses all the emothion in the song. you really live it. I'll drink to that... Congratulathions from Portugal. I love Patty too.
Your enjoyment of the performances makes this reaction more rewarding.
❤️ great commentary ❤️
Please react on Donna Murphy's Would I Leave You. It is one of my favorite Broadway songs of all time.
The pleasure of seeing her sing this song twice in the west end was a wish come true I do hope Broadway gets to see the show as soon as theatres can open safely
Wow can she belt out that song!! ❤️
The look on his face while watching this is exactly how I look every time I hear Patti Lupone sing. Sitting front row for Company on my 35th Birthday, I had this same look the entire show.
Thank you- Patty is the Queen and we love her. Will you consider reviewing Bernadette Peter’s Time Heals Everything from the 1987 Tony Awards tribute to Robert Preston?

And seeing Marin Mazzie sitting there looking like an actual goddess makes me sad.
Would kill to see your thoughts on, my queen, Bernadette Peters! Specifically her rendition of Not A Day Goes by from that same evening! Or her Roses Turn at the Tony Awards! Always have considered her a masterclass in acting though song and the chief interpreter of Sondheim!
I do love her, so I'll have to look for that performance of hers from this show.
I'm going to visit my vocal coach on Tuesday. She's 98! And I'm singing this song. I've been studying with her since the mid 70's!
Great reaction, I've always enjoyed your videos every time you upload, I hope you also react to Donna Murphy's performance of Could I Leave You during Sondheim's Birthday
This was an amazing performance! I would love to hear your thoughts on the other performances from this concert! I would also love for you to react to Stephanie J Block performing “I’m Breaking Down” from Falsettos!
Great video, as always! May I suggest (again lol) for you to review Ramin Karimloo and Hadley Fraser performing Bring Him Home from Les Mis? It was a very casual performance, and it's not professionally recorded, but their voices are incredible, as are their harmonies.
thanks again. picking up on what you were saying about having to really understand the whole song/vehicle; i find it similiar to performing a monologue without having read the play.
For sure. Very much so.
Really liked this video. :)
The BBC Proms performance by Judy Dench just crushes me every time. Would love to see a reaction on that.
Judy Dench in anything crushes. Watching her die in Skyfall....the worst.
Saw her in london production of company in. 2018
Fantastic Joanne
Patti. The queen
This might’ve been one of my favourite reactions from you.
I'm so glad you like this performance too, I think she smashes it.
My favorite performance of this is Patti at the concert performance of company with NPH and the New York philharmonic
Please can you do Move On, of Sunday in the park with George or Finishing the hat? Either the Original (Mandy,Bernadette) or the 2017 revival (Jake, Annaleigh) would be perfect. Im really new to the world of musical theater and ive just discovered this musical and im kinda obsessed with it, and with Company too, hell, with Sondheim.
Move On gets me every time, as does We Do Not Belong Together
i love Mandy & Bernadette, they are perfect in sunday in the park with George!
My favorite version of Comapny is the Raul Esperanza version. Would you ever react to his take on Staying Alive?
I love his version. "Mock me with praise" just sends shivers down my spine when he hits that line.
That's a show I definitely walk down the street singing my head! And Raul singing Being Alive is just perfection!
Nice smile sir!
I would really love you to do no one is alone from into the woods. Love to hear your take, quite a few good performances. I saw your video from Joe Iconis, maybe something from Pasek and Paul
Entertaining and astute analysis. Audra singing The Glamorous Life?
Elaine (STRITCH not Stirch) says she was shopping that after noon for something to wear, saw the red hat, thought it was cute and decided to wear it for the show. Never considered the lyric reference until Patti paused and gave it all back to Elaine. It was a joke, the way you trade someone you love. It was also a gesture of respect to honor the high bar that Elaine set.
I wonder if he introduces himself on dates “Hello, I’m Marc Daniel Patrick, Musical theater coach!”
She was great in Hollywood tv series!
the best diamond 💛
Loooorrrrrrdddddd 😍😍😍😍😍
A great one would be Patti singing Meadowlark- just spectacular!!!
I like every video before I even watch it, I just want you to do every musical, and more females, please!
This was great analysis Marc Daniel. Your comments about taking each phrase separately and finding the character within each phrase I will take to heart. One of my favorite parts of the performance is seeing Elaine Stritch watch the song she is known for performed by Ms. Lupone. One of my least favorite parts of the performance is Ms. Lupone's (in my humble opinion) tendency to overplay the role -- which is hard with Joanne. But I think when she cruises through the "everybody dies" line and later with the repeated "Rise"s. I feel Joanne is very nearly defeated by the time the last "Rise" arrives -- but as you say that's my interpretation. I did get to see Ms. Lupone on Broadway in War Paint and she is magnificent -- even if she's only playing Patti Lupone.
Could you please do a review from her performance from the 2011 production?
I would love for you to react to something from Falsettos, specifically I'm Breaking Down or The Thrill Of First Love
lea salonga also said the same thing about music of sondheim in one of her album/concert.
Can you please do the Elain Stritch I’m still here performance
you should check out Patti Lupone as Yellow Diamond on Steven Universe
I have the DVD of the behind the scenes making of the Orignal cast album of Company. If you have not seen it Marc that is something I think you would love. The recording of the Ladies Who Lunch was pretty intense with Elaine Stritch.
Oh, I'd love to see it!
What's your favorite Sondheim show? I have a perverse fondness for Sweeney Todd - I guess because I'm a born and bred NYer and we tend to be a bit strange. Favorite Sweeney? Mrs. Lovett?
Please do Donna Murphy's version of Could I Leave You.
A great tune, a great voice, a great performance, & a great moment in theater history. The presence of Elaine Stritch, who debuted the song, makes it all the more poignant.
Love this and Ms. Lupone, of course. But, I'd like to see you react and critique Audra McDonald.
You analyzed the wrong performance of hers. She performed this role on stage in concert, with the New York Philharmonic in 2011 and killed it. There’s a high-quality video of it on UA-cam
She totally killed that performance
Sorry , i am a little late to your channel and videos , thanks for reacting to this , but i have a suggestion too , i think you can get many points about singing in relation to the audience and stage by comparing this performance to patti's performance on 2011 Company concert ( which is available on UA-cam ) , which not only in my opinion is the absolute masterpiece performance of this song , but when you compare the two , you clearly can see how her emphesis on phrases change from audience who has came to celebrate sondhiem to the audience who is there to follow company's story ... it's a masterclass on it's own even without commentary , but i can see you be able to drive so many important points in that compression . anyway , keep up the good work
Also Patti's " A New Argentina " on tony awards , can be a great vehicle for teaching Breath Control and High note pronunciations
i finally found someone who looks at Patti the way i do
haha. as everyone should
@@MarcDanielPatrick true
I've been from Eleine Stritch to Baranski-Streep-McDonald...
Miss Lupone is outstanding, but no one nails this one better than Barbara Walsh....she embodies "the lady who lunches".
What is “biting on her words”?
PATTI LU PONE I'M NOT WORRRTHHYYYY
I adore this ENTIRE production (Sondheim's 80th birthday bash), but I think Patti's version in the live recording of Company with Neil Patrick Harris was a better and more complete version (of course this was still a power house performance)
Would also love to see you examine Donna Murphy's performance of Could I Leave You from this 80th birthday bash! She KILLED that song!
You're so close to getting to the acting heart of this character when you say @11:20 that she's going off on everything she hates. Yes. And the emotional weight of the song comes in that last verse when she realizes it's herself. With her failures and trying to keep up, and be a wife and "woman" she hates herself. It's why she tells Bobby to not get married. Remember, this show is about MARRIAGE, specifically your friends' marriages.
For Sondheim songs I get stuck in my head, my top right now is Pretty Women. I just did a show of Sweeney Todd back in February with an amazingly wonderful and talented cast, but we sadly only had a single weekend of performances... then Covid-19 blew up. 😬
But yeah, Sweeney IMO is probably one of, if not Sondheim’s toughest show. The music in it is just bonkers! Back to Pretty Women, I think there’s something about the light bubbliness and prettiness of the melody that starkly contrasts much of the rest of the show that helps it simultaneously stand out and get stuck in one’s head perhaps. 👍
For sure, very well said. Who were you playing in the show in Feb?
I love these videos! I'm hearing a lot of new songs I'd never come across before. I would love to see you react to some Jesus Christ Superstar. I'd be very interested in your opinion of Ian Gillan vs some of the more trained actors who came after him.
I will get to some JCS for sure.
Can you review Marin Mazzie’s performance of Losing my Mind from this concert?
I have to say my favorite version is from Sheila Gish in the Donmar Warehouse production ...
Just love this performance - it has the right amount of annoyance, a pinch of "I could care less" and an air of "I am so much better than the lot of you!" - and that voice!
To be able to sing like that! Thanks for tackling this and giving us a few pointers..., will take it to heart should I ever dare to sing this!
Sing it out! Would love to hear you
@@MarcDanielPatrick - you are too kind - and very optimistic 🤣 but sure, if I can massacre "never enough" for my a capella Saturday"s performance, lol, why shy away from this one 😎
@@MarcDanielPatrick - then again, have not been drunk for the past 28 1/2 years, rofl, so the actress in me would have a field day - challenge accepted!
