Rezensionen

A frank, no-holds-barred memoir by one of Broadway's living legends. LuPone is outrageous, brutally honest and often foul-mouthed as she reviews her life and career, and the result is a wild ride through her childhood, early theatrical training and the ups and downs of show biz. Her bold narrative is just what you'd expect from the woman who starred in EVITA, LES MISERABLES, SUNSET BOULEVARD, SWEENEY TODD and GYPSY. Looking forward to Volume 2!

The co-writer could have done more to enliven the prose with Patti's inherent charisma, but this is a great memoir of some of the biggest theatrical milestones of the last 30 years. Patti isn't afraid to tell it like it is, so those looking for Broadway gossip won't be disappointed.

In Patti LuPone's long show biz career, she's built up quite a reputation for being no-nonsense and -- dare I say it? -- bitchy. This book, her account of her rise to fame up to her last performance in Gypsy, certainly brings on the bitchiness. But in every account, she's earned the right to be. And even when she's in the wrong, she makes no bones about revealing her mistakes or breakdowns. Besides being an account of one star's life, it's a great look into the inner workings of show business and the struggle to make it while not get screwed over.

Patt's humor electrifies the tone like a chat with a good pal. And, unlike the last show biz memoir I just read by Kristen Chenoweth, it's not afraid to call out by name those who made her ascent to stardom hell. We read how she was used and abused by Andrew Lloyd Webber and his Really Useful production company (or, "Really Useless" as she called it.) There was the actor who played her husband on the TV series "Life Goes On" who was so insufferable that even the sweet Kelly Martin told him off. Or the much-revered Topol, who turned his role in "The Baker's Wife" into a joke and behaved with blatent unprofessionalism. But Patti also gives credit where credit is due and lavishes praise on the deserving as well. And she doesn't let her own foibles escape notice, such as when she missed her curtain call after playing Fantine in "Les Miserables" because she forgot to come back on stage after her death scene!

There are a lot of names packed into this memoir, which will delight Broadway afficionadoes, but may be tedious to others. But, then again, if you don't already adore Patti and show biz, why are you considering reading this book? In short, fans of Ms. LuPone will not be disappointed.
