Patti LuPone issued an apology after hundreds of members of the Broadway community condemned her recent remarks on Kecia Lewis and Audra McDonald.
Patti LuPone has issued an apology after hundreds of members of the Broadway community condemned her recent remarks disparaging fellow actresses Kecia Lewis and Audra McDonald. The New Yorker ran a profile on LuPone earlier this week that quoted hercalling Lewis — who starred in the Alicia Keys-created Broadway musical Hell’s Kitchen being performed next door to the LuPone-starring The Roommate in 2024 — a “b—-” for considering herself a stage “veteran.” The piece had LuPone recounting her complaints to Shubert Organization head Robert Wankel that sound from Lewis’ Hell’s Kitchen could be heard during her stage time in The Roommate.
