And if you had to say "Patti and Mandy who?" then you're not going to care anyway, so just go back to your football game.

I'm obviously talking about former Evita co-stars Patti LuPone and Mandy Patinkin, who have been touring in a two-person evening of belting and who are aiming for an October run on Broadway that will take them through the holidays, according to this report.

Don't cry for me, Ike and Tina. The truth is ... these two will rock!

I knew...not watching football.I think these two are are the absolute King and Queen of Broadway genius.Wish I could be there to see the curtain go up.

George Cukor was right.

The two most irritating voices on Broadway.

LOVE Jason Graae's imitation of Patinkin. Audiences scream with laughter.

And hey, weren't these two an item a Lonnnnng time ago?

Hugh Jackman's act is not slated for Broadway until October 2012!

Good combo: Gay men get to satisfy their Patti fetish and bring their mothers along, while Mandy thrills the moms and relieves Patti of having to carry an entire show by herself.

Gee, last time I saw them on Broadway, it was 1980 and the seats cost $25. Wonder what the seats will cost now?

I know you'll go and have a great time. Enjoy. I admire your admiration when it comes to Patti. I grew up with her and her brothers out on the Island and she was always a diva but in a good way. She truly has been a star from a young age. I wish her recent memoir had been a little bit more introspective and a little less, uh, knife in the back, but Patti's Patti. George Cukor said all great stars have an "irritating" quality. I think he was right.

I've seen three of the "An Evening With Patti LuPone and Mandy Patinkin", including the very first one in 2001 in Texas. There's definite chemistry between Patti and Mandy. You'll get to enjoy some choreography involving office furniture (chair). After all, the show's choreography is done by the one and only Ann Reinking.

His pant legs look odd in that picture. Apropos of nothing: I loved him on Dead Like Me.

Savannah Montgomery

And supposedly Hugh Jackman's bringing his act to B'way in the same time period as well...competition!

He was a blind item in tv guide once - about how he was supposed to be one of the nicest guys in show business but his Criminal Minds coworkers hated him because he acted like a dick or something. And then I saw Criminal Minds once and it's such a horrible show and I thought that if I had to say those lines, I'd be an unhappy camper as well.
