Patti LuPone (b. 21 April 1949) is an American actress and singer best known for her work in stage musicals.
Beyond Words
Patti LuPone, a force of nature,
Merits her own nomenclature.
All our adjectives grow stale
With a talent on this scale
Critics who have gone before us
Have exhausted the thesaurus,
Yet they hesitate and stammer
When they face her blazing glamor.
Nothing that they’ve said or written,
Here on Broadway or in Britain,
Can describe the special wallop
That a superstar can call up,
Nor can critics find the essence
Of charismatic incandescence.
