I caught her early in the run, only a few weeks apart and wish I had seen the performance as you described.

There was no tension, no chemistry with Kevin Anderson and no dynamics although I liked most of the score which seemed to be the only thing going for it aside from the very opulent design.

I was totally unprepared for how much better the show became with the new leading lady and the revisions in the book and the staging. There was tension the moment the curtain went up and Betty's call from offstage before her first entrance sent a chill down my spine. Her chemistry with John Barrowman was amazing. Whole new show.

I didn't see Patti do it.....I saw Glenn Close twice once in the original and again in the revival and despite the fact that she does not have the range some do, she was glorious both times. I saw Elaine Page do it and she couldn't hold a candle to Glenn. Sad that this has been on the drawing boards to go to film for years, and I think it could make a good movie.

It could happen if they get someone like Tom Hiddleston as her co-star...
