After having played the evenings during LuPone's vacation in the summer.
The dancer comment I'll dig up. It may actually be in the Warhol "Interview." That's when LuPone said she had to be "a dykuna backstage" because of the piled up chairs (from "The Art of the Possible"?) blocking her stage exit. For years a friend always said "I had to be a dykuna today." I'm not surprised it didn't catch on in the culture (unless I missed something.)
