Music reviews of Patti Lupone at Les Mouches

Music Review: I'll Always Walk That Extra Mile To See Her Perform
Rating: 3 Stars

As many reviewers have stated here, I too am a huge Patti Lupone fan. I've seen her in Evita and Gypsy and I can not even begin to describe how extraordinary her performances were. I also had the pleasure of seeing her perform at Lincoln Center in a one night engagement for Equity Fights AIDS about three years ago. This was an opportunity for Patti to showcase her "Lady With A Torch" album with the same musicians she recorded that fantastic record with. What an evening that was! Yes, if you ask me Patti the singer has no peer. And Patti the artist is Rembrandt, Da Vinci and Renior all rolled into one.

"Patti Lupone at Les Mouches" is a sort of behind the scenes glimpse at a fledgling artist assending torward her zenith. It is a rare opportunity to witness a young star performing live "without a net" and with anything but state of the art recording equipment. Kudos to Patti for a daring attempt to pull this off, with such a high degree of difficulty. Unfortunately, the results are spotty at best. To begin with the material does not suit her voice. The familiar standards, I Got Rhythm, Love For Sale, Meadowlark and Not While I'm Around and of course her always wonderful Don't Cry For Me Argentina are all rendered with her usual self assured bravado. But Heven Is A Disco and the contemporary pop material, Downtown, Because The Night, Superman and Mr. Tambourine Man all sound forced, amateurish and I'm afriad to say downright embarassing.

Why, I wonder did she choose to release this work at this point in her career. With recent triumphs in Sweeney Todd and Gypsy Patti truely has nothing left to prove. Perhaps her fans can see or hear no wrong in anything she does. And, as fanatic admirers they clamor for even second rate material like this. I'm sorry, I know I'll catch a lot of flack from her faithful, but I just don't get it. I love everything Patti Lupone has done on Broadway. I can't say enough about her "Lady With A Torch" album and I can listen to "Matters Of The Heart" all day long. Live At Les Mouches dosen't do it for me. But that still dosen't change my admiration and respect for Ms. Lupone. She's still the best dammed singer in the world as far as I'm concerned and I'll always walk that extra mile to see her perform.

Description of Patti Lupone at Les Mouches

The year was 1980, and for 27 weeks at midnight during her career-defining run as Evita, Patti LuPone performed a legendary concert at the nightclub Les Mouches... Digitally restored from original soundboard tapes, this recording transcends time, place and genre and miraculously reappears here. It's like having a stereo in a time machine.
Back in 1980, immediately after the curtain had come down on the Saturday performance of Evita, Patti LuPone would leave Broadway and hurry down to a Chelsea boite called Les Mouches. There she performed the midnight nightclub act immortalized on this album. If you?re looking for clean, traditional interpretations of show tunes, stay away. But if you want to relive an over-the-top night from back when New York truly was a wild and crazy town, Patti LuPone at Les Mouches is fantastically fun. Backed by an ace quintet led by pianist/musical director David Lewis, LuPone throws herself with manic intensity into a set list split between Broadway tunes (?Love for Sale,? ?Meadowlark? and of course ?Rainbow High? and ?Don?t Cry for Me, Argentina? from Evita) and pop/rock songs like Paul Jabara?s ?Heaven Is a Disco,? Bruce Springsteen?s ?Because the Night? and the Kinks? ?Superman.? The energy is infectious and the between-song banter downright hilarious, with LuPone chuckling and guffawing and speed-talking, and generally sounding like she?s just put her fingers into an electric socket (her shout-out to Stephen Sondheim is particularly funny). Those were the days? -- Elisabeth Vincentelli
