I had an audience interaction at Pal Joey that has stayed in my mind for many years. As Lupone entered to a huge ovation (as mentioned above), the gentleman next to me, looked at me and asked "Who is that?" It was comical in the context of the audience losing their minds over Patti.

A related story: The night I saw the Encores! PAL JOEY, Vicki Lewis, playing a supporting role, got a surprisingly tumultuous round of entrance applause. I believe, and others mentioned this as well at the time, that it was partly because, in that huge house, a lot of people thought she was LuPone, who had not yet appeared onstage!
