A Tony Winner And An Oscar

This week, on the Strip: We spoke to her nearly two years ago and
she was hinting at a comeback she didn’t want to jinx. And, in
fact, Broadway legend – and Steve’s gayest obsession – Patti Lupone
did have a trick up her sleeve: A few months later, she returned to
the Great White Way in the title role of “Gypsy” and walked off
with her first Tony award since her 1981 triumph for “Evita.”
Lupone is back in Vegas on June 20 and 21 for shows at the Orleans,
so Steve got her back on the line to see how her life has changed.
Among other things, Lupone went on a bit of a rant about poor Susan
Boyle and the nature of celebrity. That’s coming up. Also, we check
in with Mayor Oscar Goodman about Obama’s recent visit and gives an
update on plans to resettle the Star Trek Experience in Las Vegas.
In Banter: Cinevegas, Sheer Madness, a listeners' Wynn visit, how
Steve saved $400 on his Connecticut rental car, All-In: The Poker
Movie, Charo, Larry King, MGM Grand Egypt and more. Blog:
