Patti said in an interview that this was the only time she was ever nervous performing. And when Elaine embraced her at the end, she nearly was brought to tears.
the fact that you genuinely can't tell at all is mindblowing
She doesn't seem nervous at all. When she steps to the front of the stage with that little grin saying "I'd like to propose a toast" it seems more like she knows she's going to slay that performance. Wonderful
@@fedejr93 and she does indeed slay it !
Damn I wanna be nervous like her
Elaine seemed more emotional than she was
career goals: singing Elaine Stritch's signature song in front of her and having her jump up at the end, grab you and tell you she's so proud of you.
agreed! full circle and pure magic.
"You've always been a disappointment, Jackie"
If Patti keeps a diary what do you think she wrote about that moment??
@@holdyourhats "I'm still not Elaine."
@@Mikado8848 Lol!!
i love how Elaine Stritch gives her the fastest standing ovation/hug ever. She is such and adorable lady.
Also love how Patti looks to Elaine at the finish.
"Did you like it"?
@@thisisme2476 lol elaine was great
@Ed Miller haha. Truth. She was a HARD ASS. Notoriously hard to work with, hard on herself, demanded perfection. A true fucking artist, gem, legendary. But hardly adorable.
@@theartstraveler she quit drinking in the early 90s, but started again when she moved back to Michigan before she died. But yeah, she was a notoriously hard woman with whom to work.
@@theartstraveler it really is sad. She didn't really last long, I think she lived there all of a year before succumbing to stomach cancer and complications from diabetes. The drinking couldn't have helped.
Elaine’s reaction to the “hat” line will never fail to absolutely slay me
She just looks away 😂
That whole moment is perfect lol
Love that bit - especially since Mz. Stritch (Mrs.? Ms.? idk) is notorious in these circles for her own performance of "The Ladies Who Lunch." I don't know whether it was Stritch, LuPone, or anyone else in the production who planned this moment, but I'm so glad they did.
I'm surprised that stage didn't collapse under the weight of all that talent
This is the truth
lol. Well: It's a BRILLIANT song. The perfect marriage here! -- I find Stephen Sondheim's (all too fleetingly shown here) reactions SO powerfully moving here, it's beyond adequate words ...
That talent floats above the air. The ones devoid of talent, these are heavy.
... can we talk about the fact that she stands in one place the entire time ... its all her face and her voice ... and she sang it in front of Elaine ... I would be dead
Aleera this song is technically and physically demanding. Patti makes it look like a cakewalk, I would have melted under Sondheim and Strich
You aren’t kidding! Imagine singing Elaine’s signature song from “Company” in front of her....and oh, Lord, what she does with “another vodka stinger”. Purely incredible!
Elaine was clearly moved. So am I.
Technically, I don’t think so. The original piece was gut wrenching but it’s not a difficult song to sing. This rendition though is difficult to sing. Patti the queen of broadway just raised the bar higher.
@@j3black What choice did she have about being moved? None, really. Security was staring her down, telling her if she didn't get off the stage, they would tackle her to the ground. You'd be moved, too! No choice. No choice at all.
Patti: Everybody laugh
Me: Yes, my diamond
Alan Tamir YES!
Yellow💛
daunting ELegEnCe and BEAuty thAT is YELLOOWW DAAAAAAimAAAAAAANDah
haha yeah yellow diamond
I always forget this
DAMN. This is proof that you can spend decades thinking there is only one best way to perform a number and along comes someone who owns her own interpretation and you feel no need to compare. A great performer is a great performer. It's not a competition. It's a celebration..
True!!! Let drink to that!!
Ill drink to that! (I dont actually drink...)
Totally agree i love this version and recently saw alan cummings sing it in his broad scottish accent totally different again but still great
Yes, this was not a competition, it was a performance of a great song. by a great performer.
A great piece of music is greater than all of its possible interpretations.
"Does anyone still wear a hat?" *Looks at Elaine*
Brandon Harris Elaine: *looks away*
it's true though, people don't wear hats anymore
And in the background you have Donna and Audra laughing hysterically at it because Patti and Elaine played it perfectly
Wig snatched
And they played it perfectly! 👏👏👏
She makes those big notes sound so damn easy!
They just glide out of her mouth. So smooth and silky. I have yet to find a voice like hers. So beautiful
The power of a dramatic soprano
@@JaTaunPratt I'm pretty certain Patti's a mezzo.
@@alexandrapedersen829 i read somewhere that she's mezzo-soprano. 🤗
It's very easy
Say what you will, but when Ms. Lupone is singing, you can't take your eyes off of her. Her talent can't be ignored.
+Lenora Gray I agree. She IS talented!
You can't take your ears off either!
Specially if she's wearing a bright red dress! I'm kidding of course, she is insanely talented.
+Lance Smith
Lol you didn't even spell it right.
Lenora Gray , Lenora you are so right!
"Aren't they a gem?"
...aren't _you_ a Gem?
No, you clod!
Jk
Well put!
60 year old patti lupone sounds better than anyone at 20
MrEric Rockinout she sounds better than any modern singer xD
Well, granted she's been in practice much longer...?
Runnerdiice And she doesn’t need autotune
Runnerdiice Which also means she had a lot more opportunity for her voice to deteriorate. Her impeccable technique has meant her voice is still just as amazing as it was when she was younger.
60 year old patti lupone sound better than 20 years old patti lupone
Do not forget the orchestra and the trumpet playing Mahler s tune as perfectly as can be, just beautiful.
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I LOVE that moment!
The trumpet plays a little lick from Mahler’s 4th haha
3:51 My Asian mom every time I ask her what we're having for lunch
I'm not sure if this comment slightly ruined the performance or made it 17 times better 🤣🤣
jeez why doesn't this have more likes.😂relatable
I got it like a minute before getting to the minute mark and I laughed to tears! 😂🤣🤣😂 everybody Rice!
Colombians feel you bro
💀
I love watching LuPone her face is so expressive.
Okay but she sang all of that after 2:28 without taking a breath, while still sounding insanely powerful...Patti is not human
She took a breath right before/while singing the word “Arent”
Her vibrato is breath-taking! Go Patti!
Can we talk about how chill the conductor looks at 1:39
Man is living his best life. Good for him.
Absolutely, although he’s a little more anxious when he tries to follow Elaine in “I’m Still Here” 😉
Elaine Stritch owned this song for 40 years. And Patti just stole it right from under her. With Elaine's beautiful blessing.
I did not know that history! Amazing. And touching.
It would be cool to reenvision the song as a duet between the two.
i prefer elaine's version; i feel a gut feel of how the dinosaurs are really agonizing
Nope. Still Elaine's.
"Stolen"? Hardly. There's no one better than Elaine's with this performance. That said, I enjoyed Patti's performance very much. I like how melodic and tuneful it comes off in this version.
ty Agatha All Along for introducing me to Patti LuPone!!
2:29 - 2:40
Speechless
And 3:18 to 3:22. Only 4 seconds, but you can TASTE the disdain!!!!
She's on fire, jaw dropping performance. I never get tired of this.. really...
That. Was. All. One. Breath.
0:00 - 4:39 speechless
and all in ONE BREATH. incredible.
I love how the legend Elaine Stritch gave Patty LuPone a standing ovation on the stage...
for everyone who is wondering what Elain said:
"I Love you, I love you, I love you. Great!"
Read her lips: I am so proud of you
Learn to read lips, A. Burr
In my opinion, she's saying, "Bravo, bravo...bravo." I guess only Patti Lupone knows for sure.
My favorite part of this - Elaine being the first to "rise" and give her a hug! That is one happy Joanne!
She is a 70 year old, 5 feet 2 inch tall TOWER OF POWER!!!!( and Sondheim is a genius.)
Revisit this video regularly
I do! 😂😂
Me too!
As do I.
Add me...once a night
Same!
Who’s here after watching Christine Baranski, Meryl Streep and Audra McDonald???
All of us.
Nando Leonet GOD
☝🏻
All of us is right.
Me!
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 stay 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.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!
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!
Someone Elsewhere thanks!
Thanks for posting this!
She’s spectacular!!!
Ly
Just when I was thinking I need to see the lyrics! Thanks.
2:18 you can hear her come in pretty sharp on "The ones". you can tell she is nervous. Yet within seconds she is hitting the next next line flawlessly, and the "aren't they a gemmmmmm" with such force. A true professional!
Patti doesn't just belt it out to the back row ..... she belts it out to the street. Good Lord what power!!
actual tears when Elaine squeezes Patti tight and you can read her lips saying "I'm so proud of you" ahhhhhhggggggggh my whole entire heart!
Patti Lupone has always been a hero of mine. Unlike most people my age, I first discovered her work through Evita. I fell in love with her talent after seeing her in Company. So I was going through clips from this concert and when I found this I nearly fell off my chair! Her voice give me goosebumps!
Abby Beatson I discovered her on a cast album of Les Miserables where she sang “I Dreamed A Dream” so beautifully. I’ve loved her ever since.
She is in Company in the West End through March 2019. Fantastic.
Who is here after the Randy Rainbow and Patti splendid duet? Patti ❤️
RIP Stephen Sondheim, an absolute legend who made my life richer.
Elaine Stritch will forever be held in a high place as one of the greatest Broadway ladies in History, A lady who may not have had the strongest singing voice but in exchange can convey the most heartfelt emotion in spoken word.
That is one of the awesomest things I've ever heard. I'm not even a fan of the genre, but I got shivers from her.
I only knew her voice from "Anything Goes"; I'd never seen her perform. She's got such incredible power and accuracy (3:35, where she throws out "ev-ry-bo-dy" and then nails "DIES!" an octave above it?!) and her face is remarkably expressive. At first I didn't care for what I thought was over-enunciation, but I get how it's important on stage, and it doesn't detract from enjoying the music.
Must find more like this . . .
Oh my! She's the BROADWAY EVITA! you should check it out. Patti can, of course, hit notes that Madonna could NEVER
Her grand aunt was a celebrated classical singer back from the 1880’s to 1910’s. Maybe it’s in their genes to have a powerful resonant voice like that
@@emc5190 I did not know that!
@@maestroclassico5801 Evita was on BW before it was a movie... And PL played the title role in 1979.
And now I see that you were trying to say just that...
@@barcodefag Yup! Patti is an amazing though very "vocal " performer!
03:35. Patti: fasten you’re seatbelts folks I’m sendin this one outta the theater.
LuPone nailed it. And Stritch agreed. And, that many diva legends on one stage. Damn.
I cant stop hearing Yellow Diamond
I love the fact that when Elaine rises to hug Pattie you can see her mouth "I'm so proud of you."
And you can see it in everyone's face; Sondheim, Peters, Everyone on stage has been wowed by this rendition.
It's really touching to see that people, especially someone as Strict as Elaine, can see their work be altered and touched upon and still be moved by it.
That rendition is without doubt PHENOMENAL!!
She's just brilliant. I watch this video DAILY because I just can't get over it.
I watch it almost daily. Brings a ray of sunshine during the dreaded pandemic. What a mega-talent!!! Would love to see her on Broadway if we ever go back to normal and we can buy tickets.
Me too!!
The solo trumpet at 2:01 makes my spine tingle
Ikr. It makes my pickle tickle
Yep, over here too. Little gem that is!
I live for that ending when they hug, ugh, so much yes.
I seen Patti sing this live in Company in London this past weekend and honestly even thinking about it makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up. Her interpretation of Joanne is still a thing of utter perfection.True and utter class.
This lady is a gift from heaven! :') Patti is such a star, and Elaine was so moved it made me cry!
Dani C she’s a diamond. If ya know what I mean. You get what I get if you get it.
@@streetcone6658 I get it, alright! 💎💎💎
The thing that really really separates Patti from other performers, aside from her impeccable voice, is her stage presence.
When Elaine hugged her at the end, it felt like a passing-of-the-torch kind of moment..
This musical arrangement is exquisite. They should've used it for the current Company revivals.
She hisses on "Gasssss". Brilliant.
Patti's musicality and rhythm is on point. Her diction is....Patti...haha She's so good. Damn
Haha I sortof feel like, it's very Patti and stylized but she doesn't try to do the character at all. She sounds great but it's just a cute affectation she is doing. Which is a reasonable choice here.
I think that’s also evident in what she made of Evita!
Idk if some knows, but she’s the great grand niece of Adelina Patti, a celebrated well-known classical vocalist from the 1860’s-1914. An expensive opera singer too earning $5000 worth of gold every performance.
Elaine stritch immortalised this wonderful song but my god I’ve not heard anyone ‘sing’ it better than Patti... her timing, delivery... the song’s been in my head for weeks!
Elaine makes me feel the pain of it.
The queen of Broadway - simple.
Their final hug is so moving.
The Divas in the background don't move a muscle!
They are like "we have to follow that???"
jumpforjoy6 and they sure did!
@@jumpforjoy6 Stritch sang it just as well.
OMG! Who doesn't like Patti LuPone!!!! As a singer OR actress! Love you, Girl.
Put me in the “Don’t Like” camp. 100% belt all the time gets to be very grating very fast. Caterwauling.
I just saw her performing this on stage for the re-make of Company. literally crying!!!! She has such a command of the theater it is INSANE
There's a Garland quality to this that just hits you in the gut. Brava!
Im here to observe all the props she been getting since her casting in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Im pleased to have found this.
Love the comedy, singing, and jazziness
So much authority in her acting and singing - Patti Lupone is a gift to the theatre.
Elaine was slaaaaayyyyyeeedddd!!! She shook her head thinking to herself: GODDAMN.
Picture it! 1963, Judy Garland and Ethel Merman are on the set of The Judy Garland Show. Ethel says "Ya know Judy, you and I are the last of the big belters!" Judy replies "We sure are!" CUT TO: Yoda, watching from the studio audience. "No. There is another." CUT TO: La LuPone singing Ladies Who Lunch in 2010.
John Dalton. Thanks for the memories. I can and do picture those two talented ladies as the last of the "big belters Judy with her movie songs and The late Great Ethel" with her Broadway belting. And cut to the Great Patti Lupose of another generation belting out her unforgettable numbers. Maybe Judy and Ethel didn't live long enough to enjoy Patti, they must be smiling now.
Patti's voice is so powerful here
I like how Elaine nods her head so the people in the way back can see she is in fact wearing a hat, probably for our benefit. RIP Stephen Sondheim.
When she sings she is moving her mouth with very clear vocal intention I just love it
You have Elaine Strich right there
Zach T how nervous do you think Patti was then?
Astonishing
I know, if they'd asked me to stng it with Stritch onstage, I'd hide under the piano.
Marcus Cameron she had to be so nervous but it’s Patti so once she hits that first belt there’s no stopping her!!
Love these comments. Patti! Elaine! Two magnificent babes.
I love that Patti has the audience at the palm of her hand. So powerful and beautiful :D
Love hearing the orchestra quietly swinging behind her.
I come back to this video often. Patti is just flawless in this. It’s musical excellence, beyond reproach x
Same
Same
I've been watching this video on a loop for the last week. Also Elaine's version, studio recording, and some other versions trying to gasp what this song means. Besides how incredible this performance is, can we focus on how Patty turns the invitation to rise for a toast to a war declaration in mere seconds? It's so subtle how each time she sings "rise", the meaning of the word shifts along with her body and expression.
I'm just blown away by her talent.
th-cam.com/video/UvXEQ4lZt8k/w-d-xo.html
This live version that she sings is even better somehow.
love this song so much. starts as one woman bitterly judging all the other women around her and their vapid, superficial lives- then turns inwards, and reveals that her true ire lies with the sexist systems in place, but since she doesn't have the power to affect any of it she just funnels her resentment towards the women themselves.
@@emerson3323 Thank you for a very thorough explanation of this song. After all these years it makes more sense now.
Can you explain
'Send in the Clowns'?
I kind of get it but not sure.
@@Christina...66 you loved me, but I wasn’t ready to love you…..then when I decided I loved you, you had moved on from me……isn’t it rich…..aren’t we a farce?
There's a new revival of COMPANY on Broadway........Sondheim got to see it just before he left us, at the ripe old age of 91(!!). Patti is playing Joanne once again!!!
Patti has the voice of angels. No wonder she was chosen to play Yellow Diamond! She’s perfect for the role!
Thank you for everything, Mr. Sondheim, we will miss you terribly 🖤
Patti can sound off to the audience and do whatever she wants. Love her..
Patti sure has the perfect delivery of all the goods: voice, rhythm, expression(s), pitchswerves, etc. Love her. And the NYPhil sounds great.
What we see here is more than a great tribute, but to belt out a Broadway legend's signature song in front of her & the song's legendary composer? This is a prime example of an artist's work continuing to breath & live on beyond the performer. To say this moment is a "passing of the torch" doesn't nearly quantify what this moment means. From Patti's POV, it's an attempt to give new life to a celebrated work in front of the artisans who created it. To both Elaine & Steve, it's assurance that their art will continue to live on & inspire. Now that both are gone & Patti to this day takes up the mantle of this song for a new generation, it's a microcosm example of how great art is immortal. We rarely have an opportunity to see this realization play out in front of our eyes.
She still sounds amazing after all these years because of her classical training
riiiiiiice, riiiiiiice, riiiiiiice, riiiiiiice
wtf
Now that's all I hear, lol
GUURRRLLL HAHAHAHHAHAHA
@Peridot Fried or Steamed?
me when they ask if I want rice or noodles
This woman is incredible
3:14 can we appreciate the sheer ferocity that she has
I DIE!!! Miss Lupone is without question has one of the most gorgeous voices I've ever heard.........She is truly, AMAZING!!!
I got "dragged" to an Atlanta Symphony concert which was entirely Patti LuPone. I was kind of dreading it. She did two and a half hours with one break, and she was marvelous! I knew her from TV back in the day, but I had no idea about her voice and performing skills! Masterful!~ She also said twice that she performs with many orchestras, and that we needed to know how great the ASO is. I already knew, but it was nice to hear. I performed and recorded in the ASOC many times...
The music and that voice!!! I will drink to that!!
Having seen Patti sing this in London but acting a bit more pissed. She is fab. New York in for a treat with the new production of Company .
London production still a highlight of my 2018 with Patti the cherry on the cake
Now this is what BRINGING THE HOUSE DOWN means. Every note perfect and acting on point! And Elaine acknowleding that is really beautiful! One of the best musical performances out there!
the moment she doesn’t sing an “I’ll drink to them” and just stands there and still somehow made me get chills. I was gagged
Patti EATS up every moment. So happy to exist at the same time as her. Effortless, pure....just magic! I'll drink to that!
Here after just hearing about the death of the Grand Master of Theater Stephen Sondheim. R.I.P. you absolute legend
2:28 is so incredible, I could just watch it over and over (and have).
Good God. Patti LuPone. Incomparable. What I wouldn't do for those pipes, that range, and holy man...that DICTION. Singing consonants is nearly impossible for us mere mortals. But For La LuPone? Just another day on stage.
Patti’s version of the ladies who lunch will forever be timeless on and off the 🎭 broadway / concert stage Elaine’s is also elegant both talented women in their own right Brava ladies 👏👏
Her vibrato is so unique. I could spot her purely based on that
There really aren't words. She's just phenomenal.
The way Elaine champions the hell out of Patti. Those two on one stage is truly transcendent.
2:52 "Aren't they the bessssst?" It's like a snake! She is too much!
She is out of this world. Love Elaine Stritch. RIP, Ms. Stritch. Thanks for the memories
Patti LuPone: Everybody laugh
Me: anythingforyoupatti
0:15
Patti cracking knuckles " get ready boys, here it comes..."
That was the best performance of the night, and every one knew that in the 11 rises moment hahahha
