Patti LuPone [with Esh Alladi]

Let’s conjugate, Divas!

I LuPone
You LuPone
He/She/It Lupones
We ALL LuPone

But the one who LuPones the hardest is mother herself. That’s right, it’s time for the hotly anticipated deep-dive into the life and times of a hardcore possessor of both Big Diva Energy and the biggest voice in Musical Theatre: the iconic Patti LuPone.

(Just don’t call her the D-Word.)

And sharing the journey is star of stage, screen and emergency rooms up and down the country, dear, dear friend Dr Esh Alladi.

Join all three as they hear tales of lily-white hands and softly-kissed penises, theatrical snubbings aplenty and introduce you to Persecution Patti - her LuPone worst enemy.

Along the way, Holly & Tom discover what happens when a Hindu mother finds out you’re bisexual, what kind of “roles” can be found at the Job Centre and just generally get really, really stagey.
