Patti LuPone Stages a Stage Comeback
Patti LuPone.In 2022, Patti LuPone said she would not be on Broadway again for a “very long time,” so she decided to give up membership in the Actors’ Equity union. We’re not sure how we’d define a “very long time,” but two years is probably not the answer. Either way, LuPone is headed back to the stage this summer alongside Mia Farrow in a new play, The Roommate, by Jen Silverman (Spain). You can’t keep Patti LuPone from the stage, it’s like keeping a clown from birthday parties. The production will be directed by Jack O’Brien (Hairspray). “It’s always a big decision to return to the stage, and I certainly had no intention of being back on Broadway so fast,” LuPone said in a press release. “But when I read the play and heard Mia was attached, it became the easiest decision of my life. I’ve always been a fan of Mia’s work and she is a treasured friend. We’re going to have a blast.” The Roommate is heading into the Booth Theater on August 29, with opening day scheduled for September 12. So, that’s why Oh Mary! didn’t get the Booth.
