A lot of people don't know how hard it is to play drunk realistically. It's not about staggering around and falling down and slurring your words. Years ago one of my theatre professors said something along the lines of, "Real drunk people are trying to act like they're NOT drunk." So as an actor your job is to to act like you're drunk but trying not to act like you're not drunk, while you (HOPEFULLY) aren't drunk.

Audra Macdonald did a beautiful rendition with Meryl Streep and Christine Baranski for Sondheim's 90th birthday celebration, so she'd be amazing too! Imelda Staunton and Bette Midler would be perfect imho if they really wanted to get another Patti if she couldn't do it, as both ladies have that same tough broad personality that Patti has for a fiesty biting Joanne.

Patti LuPone came to my college when I was a freshman. She was part of the first graduating class in drama from the Juilliard School. They were doing workshops with drama students in various universities. I could tell, even from my unsophisticated brain, that she was unique and a star! She had the expressive mouth, the attitude, and all the qualities we love, even then.

This is, in my opinion, the best performance of this song. Another stunning performance is Barbara Walsh. Elaine Stritch is a legend and truly one of my idols but I think she fell back on her comedic chops to deliver the song. And she didn't need to. Elaine was such an extraordinary actress. Now maybe seeing her performance out of context is why it didn't deliver as well. I've only seen her do it in concerts. UGH I wish I could see her in the original production. Anyway, this is truly the best performance I have ever seen of Patti LuPone. The song made sense to me for the first time. Yes, Patti is loud. In every sense of the word - voice, presence, delivery, etc. But look at her eyes throughout. And there's even a lyric, "Look into their eyes and you'll see what they know." A good actor tells a story in their eyes. And Patti proved here why she is Patti Fucking LuPone.

With Elaine there is anger, sadness, & bitterness. One of those components is missing in Pattis performance. Pattis is easier on the ears but easier on the soul. Elaines version is dark unlike Pattis. Can’t compare the two. It would be like comparing Dolly Partons version of I will always love you to Whitney Houston’s version. Although the same song in lyric, very different for heart & soul of the listener.

For anyone who tries to sing Karaoke to this version of the song: Here's to the ladies who lunch-- Everybody laugh. Lounging in their caftans And planning a brunch On their own behalf. Off to the gym, Then to a fitting, Claiming they're fat. And looking grim, 'Cause they've been sitting Choosing a hat. Does anyone still wear a hat? I'll drink to that. And here's to the girls who play smart-- Aren't they a gas? Rushing to their classes In optical art, Wishing it would pass. Another long exhausting day, Another thousand dollars, A matinee, a Pinter play, Perhaps a piece of Mahler's. I'll drink to that. And one for Mahler! And here's to the girls who play wife-- Aren't they too much? Keeping house but clutching A copy of LIFE, Just to keep in touch. The ones who follow the rules, And meet themselves at the schools, Too busy to know that they're fools. Aren't they a gem? I'll drink to them! Let's all drink to them! And here's to the girls who just watch-- Aren't they the best? When they get depressed, It's a bottle of Scotch, Plus a little jest. Another chance to disapprove, Another brilliant zinger, Another reason not to move, Another vodka stinger. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh! I'll drink to that. So here's to the girls on the go-- Everybody tries. Look into their eyes, And you'll see what they know: Everybody dies. A toast to that invincible bunch, The dinosaurs surviving the crunch. Let's hear it for the ladies who lunch-- Everybody rise! Rise! Rise! Rise! Rise! Rise! Rise! Rise! Rise! Rise! PATTI SLAYS!
