Patti Lupone changed my life tonight. I don't think a show stopping performance like the one I saw tonight will ever influence me like the way it did tonight. Very few performances come to mind when I think of the quintessential moment where the glimmer of something exquisite and truly special happens. Watching the final moments of the final number was like watching a miracle take place, or touching something other-worldly. My goosebumps had goosebumps. I felt a triumph, a heartbreaking gut wrenching war cry triumph, broken but still rebellious with every fiber of her being she sang. She pleaded, she succeeded and dared, she yearned and took, she gave, and gave, and gave until I found myself on my feet. the applause was thunderous.
in the words of stage beauty:
'please, there is still one more scene.'
