I first saw her in a stock production of "Bye Bye Birdie" opposite Carlton Carpenter. It was I think the first musical I had seen live. She had been a stand by for the role of Rose on Broadway and I was enthralled by her. May she rest in peace.

Anyone see “Musical Chairs” one of the last shows to play at The Rialto?

I remember thinking it was clever and entertaining. I was in the minority.

Was Michelle Lee’s standby in Seesaw and she did a student/equity production of The Rink at Montclair University in the late 80’s. How many peeps beyond this board know who This Patti is?😀

I agree.

Her name is synonymous with industry professional. I can't recall a time when I didn't see her name as standby, understudy, replacement, tour or regional star. A great career spanning decades.

CORRECTION: She closed Seesaw on B'way, she didn't take over for Kazan in Detroit

In reviewing her career on Ovtur (ever wonderful and reliable), I saw what I had heard decades ago: that Karr stood by while they fiddled with Seesaw, during/after Kazan was fired. CORRECTION: She did NOT play it "between stars"*. Apology. And she then stood by for Lee on B'way, played her vacation, and it looks like closed the show with Gavin.

*Apparently Lee never played the show in Detroit, and I have no evidence that Karr went on for Kazan
