Patti Lupone appeared on NPR s podcast Wait Wait Don t Tell Me to discuss leaving Broadway, taking cell phones from audience members, and more. Listen here!
After giving up her Actors' Equity membership in 2022, Patti LuPone has revealed why she no longer wants to be on Broadway. In an interview about her new film, Beau Is Afraid, LuPone was asked if her resignation from Actors' Equity is permanent, which lead her to state why she 'doesn't think' she'll ever return to Broadway.
Patti LuPone has responded to hate on social media. Following an incident last week at Hadestown that involved Lillias White mistakenly calling out a hard of hearing audience member for using a captioning device, theatre fans are making their opinion of the event known. While some have taken to Twitter to express outrage over White's misstep, others have been quick to compare the backlash to some of LuPone's past onstage antics- many of which have received praise.
