Patti LuPone is the most famous diva alive today!! In 2008, she starred as Mama Rose (a ridiculous stage mother) in Gypsy. I had the privilege of seeing her in this performance and, let me tell you, she was a force to behold. Above, you can see her performing a number from the show on the Tony Awards (she later won that night for her role in Gypsy) and most deservingly so. Below, you can listen to a tape of her as she stops the show in the middle of a performance to lecture an audience member about taking photos. Not only does her larger-than-life voice, diva attitude, and perfectionism frighten me - but imagining myself on the receiving end of this lecture makes me pee my pants. A little.
However, I would have LLLLOOOOOVVVVVEEEEEDDD to be there when this happened. O.M.G.
