- The 2024 two-character Broadway play "The Roommate" co-starred Mia Farrow and Patti LuPone. When Farrow took ill, well-known actress Marsha Mason, who had been serving as assistant to "Roommate" director, Jack O'Brien, agreed to go on in Farrow's role with script in hand. At one point at this particular performance, total pros LuPone and Mason shared an adorable moment of confusion.
I lost it when the voice of God (Tripp Phillips) came on to help Patti. Hilarious!
This is what acting is all about! Courage to go out and screw up and move on! The audience is right there with you Patti! I wish I was there to applaud! Viva to both of you!
Happens to the very best of us! Lots of wonderful facets to the live theatre process...that's show biz, folks; it's always great to see the greats fumble once in awhile like the rest of us. Made for a good time I am sure....hysterically fun and funny!
LOL this is amazing. The audience that got to see this live is so lucky.
God, I love this! Especially how she just goes with it and accepts what it's happening, Not at all embarrased or flustered.
I love this SOOOO much. I love how neither is acting like a diva and they are just having a ball together and cracking up. You can feel the love from the audience as well through their applause and laughter. They are witnessing two legendary pros be themselves and thank god someone had nerves of steel to capture this on their phone at a Patti Lupone show! lol. But I’ll confess, I’d pay good money to just willingly be chastised and berated by Patti haha! This is amazing theater.
Literally had my jaw dropped for this. I figured when the video started it would be Marsha Mason who had gotten lost (understandable! She went on so last-minute with a script!) but was NOT expecting it to be PATTI of all people who got so off-track.
What an incredible moment - especially with someone as fiercely revered as Ms. LuPone!
And good on Ms. Mason for being willing to go on!
Two of my favorites. I'd listen to either of them screw up the phonebook. Mia Farrow too!💖
Now this is ICONIC theatre!
1000%! Preaching to the choir, Merry Christmas
A Christmas miracle. Patti IS human.
Don't tell Patti someone had their phone out. 😅
This makes it even after Patti fucked up.
That's why I call her Patti NoPhone.
Oh my God I love Marsha Mason and of course Patti
now why can't more plays do this. I'd still pay same price, this was hillarious!!🤣
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🎭😂 This is Theater History before your eyes!!!!!!!
Yes, and it's the kind of thing that almost never gets captured. Two total, fearless pros.
@ One more time and again, Bravíssima Aurora Spiderwoman!!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
@@auroraspiderwoman5886 Did you record any wicked videos ?
I was at this show!!! Absolutely loved this moment! True LIVE Theatre!
What performance was this? Saw it in November.
Happy Holidays!!! Merry Christmas / Happy Hanukkah / Joyous Kwanzaa to all who celebrate. Patti LuPone is GOATed in this role as usual
thank you for sharing and pretty please share the rest!!
Pure theatrical magic!
I’ve missed Marsha Mason. Good to see her.
Me too! Love her.
I know that feeling… boy I wish I had been in that audience…
thank you santa
I was ready for them to go on and finish the show. I'm here for it.
Wow! As always, you give us the best little treats Aurora. This was an odd little play, I went to the final show and was mostly grateful for Mia’s performance.
Nice to see this sort of things can even happen to established icons. I was in a play once where me and another actor just ended up in a circle with the dialogue and we had no idea how we kept ending up back at the beginning of the scene. Feel better that that sort of thing even happens to Patti LuPone 😅
Fantastic!! And we know she actually knows those lines
Marsha should do the touring company.
She is Exceptional.
They're human! Patti is 75 and also thrown off that it's Marsha and not Mia. What's hilarious is she's the one who forgot her lines and Marsha has them right in front of her.
Live theater, ladies, gentlemen, and all those in between. I live for this when I’m onstage or in the audience! 😂
i frickin love live theatre. would give a limb to be at this performance. 😂
LEGENDS
This why I love the theatre, the audience is great.
For people who may be unfamiliar w Marsha Mason’s work may I recommend The Goodbye Girl starring Marsha and one scene chewing Richard Dreyfuss. One of my faves . If you like comedy about pretentious actors and Shakespearean dramas and NYC it’s for you !
“The Goodbye Girl” by Neil Simon is a classic!
Skip that Patricia Heaton/Jeff Daniels version.
Human! I love them!!!
Trip Phillips, ladies and gentlemen.
Once you go off the rails it's so hard to get back on. I saw a production of Doubt where the amazing Cherry Jones, six months into the run, got off track. She calmly stood up, walked off stage and came back on with the script. She finished the scene with the script in hand and then was fine for the rest of the show.
Hi diva- did you get the full show? Asking for me 💕
Wtf 😅… 😮 we have all been there omg 😆
Honestly this whole situation probably livened up the play itself, which wasn’t the strongest - Lupone and Farrow were doing their best with the material - I would have appreciated this detour at my performance 😅
Wow, have never seen that before.
Ima walk around all day saying I Don’t Wanna Brag…
Does anyone know why an actress of Marsha Mason’s caliber would be there as an associate director? Is that a common practice? Just curious.
@@LionWriter1012 Marsha and director Jack O’Brian are friends. Marsha is 82 and may not want to perform anymore. But being behind-the-scenes and staying part of the theater community probably gives her joy
And why aren’t there understudies?
@@rabbitfishtv Who cares. It all worked out.
@@rabbitfishtv Carol Halstead was the standby (and she did go on later in the run), but she had COVID at the time of this performance
I believe this was like a month or so close toward the end of the play .
It was more like during the first week.
Thank you
Mixed emotions about this. On the one hand, I understand that the evening’s performance was already unconventional because Marsha was the surprise (even to her) understudy and was script dependent. Lots of laughs and supportive feelings from the audience. But on the other hand, when actors forget their lines they should try to stay in character and stay professional. After all, this isn’t a rehearsal performance - it’s a Broadway show with an expensive price tag.
Hold on, I am confused. This is an actual performance? Did Mia Farrow take ill right before the curtains were about to open or something? Why did Marsha had the script in hand during an actual performance?
@@t.e.burgos3263 Yes, this is from an actual performance. When Mia Farrow became ill shortly after the opening, the thought was that the audience would much prefer to see a multi-Oscar-nominated star than an understudy take on Farrow's role , so Marsha Mason, who had been assisting the play's director, graciously agreed to go on for Mia for two or three shows. Mason was not the standby or understudy for Farrow so had had no reason to have the script memorized. So she went on with script in hand and performed like the skilled and veteran professional that she is.
@@t.e.burgos3263 It's all in the description.
Patti Lupone chose to use this as an opportunity to entertain the audience 🤷♂️ She knew what she was doing
@@kumada84 Shouldn't the play itself entertain the audience?
This is precious and all, but I wish the audience were given the option to ask for a refund. No Mia Farrow and the actress forgot her lines.
Anyone who did not want to see the show without Mia was given a refund.
@@auroraspiderwoman5886 That's good to know. And I'm glad people still stuck around for this.
Probably a fantastic experience for all!
