The Diva Broadway Ultimate has smacked as people Mad and Kim Kardashian on Watch what happens live with Andy Cohen with its catchy wit over the years. Even when she is not encouraged to be shady by a host Andy CohenLupone always has a sly attention at the front of her tongue. Even her colleagues are not safe, as Lupone has secured countless insults at the expense of Broadway legend Andrew Lloyd Webber Over the years. Her wrath also goes beyond celebrities – you may be her next target if you dare to whip a mobile device during one of her Broadway performances.

Decades of bad blood exist between Lupone and Madonna over Lloyd Webber’s film version Evita. Lupone originated the role of first one-time woman of Argentina Eva Perón In the Broadway musical, but by the time it was made a film in 1996, Madonna was chosen for the lead part.
Madonna’s film career has been extremely rocky, yet her portrayal of Perón was a critical and commercial success – though Lupone didn’t impress Lupone. Lupone was revenge on 2017 Wwhl episode when a caller asked if she had ever spoken to Madonna about Evita.
“I was on the treadmill when MTV used to get videos and I saw, I think it was” Buenos Aires, “and I thought it was a piece if ** t,” he declared bluntly. “Madonna is ‘Killer Movie!’ She has died behind the eyes, she can’t act out her way out of a paper bag.
Lupone caved soon, “She’s a wonderful performer about what she’s doing, but she’s not an actress!”
The stage icon had a chance to walk back her criticism of Madonna during the appearance of 2024 onwards Hot ones sides Aubrey Plaza But, in Lupone’s typical fashion, he chose to “eat death wing” rather than apologize to the singer “a material girl”.
Lupone has spent the better 30 -year part in beef with Broadway Impresario Lloyd Webber, after it was cast like Eva Peron in Evita in 1979. The dispute arose when Lloyd Webber Lupone subsequently fired for Norma Desmond’s leading role Sunset Boulevard Before the show moves from the west end to Broadway, leading to a long legal battle.
Lupone says Interview Many years later she would never work with Lloyd Webber again, partly because she felt he wrote “Crap Music.”
“Evita was his best score. In his wonder, when I first heard, I swear to God I thought he hated women, ”he quoted.” There are some very romantic moments in his music, and then there’s some real rubbish that he doesn’t even think of separation with it. He is not a very good editor of his own things. “
When Lloyd Webber closed Phantom the opera On Broadway in 2023, Lupone told a Wwhl a viewer that, “Fantasy over. “
“It has been several years, 90? Who has not seen Fantasy And why see him again? ”She asked.
The duo finally made Peace when Lupone performed as part of a tribute to Lloyd Webber at the 2018 Grammy Awards, but by 2024, they were back to Butting Heads.
“Andrew Lloyd Webber is a narcissist, uncertain man,” he told Hollywood reporter at the time.
Lupone let’s lup rip on Kardashian when it was revealed that the reality star has landed its most acting role to date American horror story. His comments were much more awkward because Lupone worked frequently Ahs cocrea Ryan Murphy – including appearing in two seasons of American horror story.
Nevertheless, Lupone disagreed when Cohen picked up Kardashian in American Horror Story: Cain As part of 2024 Wwhl Episode.
“(She takes) a role away from actors,” Lupone complained. “Excuse me, Kim, what are you doing with your life? Don’t go on stage!”
Ouch!
Lupone has been a mouthful of the President during both of his terms, so he did not hold back when asked by Diversity In 2017 if she had considered performing for Trump.
“Well, hopefully he doesn’t (come to see me), because I won’t perform if he does,” he insisted.
When asked to explain his stance, Lupone shot back, “Because I hate the Motherf *** er. How is that?”
Do not bank on Lupone making any visits in the White House over the next four years …
Streisand Shadow Lupone a few times on Wwhl Over the years, including telling Cohen, she was not interested in the 2023 memoir of her contemporary My name is Barbra. During a 2022 interview With Cohen, he criticized Streisand’s casting in the 1969 film version of the iconic musical Hello, Dolly!.
“Barbra Streisand was too young, and (Broadway’s original star) Carol Channing He should have been played (in the film), ”he argued.
When asked if she had ever considered playing Dolly, Lupone admitted, “People have told me I should do DollyAnd I didn’t really understand it. “
During another Wwhl Guest period, Lupone laughed off a viewer question for Streisand possibly following his footprint by playing Mama Rose in a Gypsy Musical Film.
“I know he would like to do and I’m sure there are technologies so she can do, and I think, 50 years ago, he would have been a great Madame Rose,” said Lupone. “I think she’s too old. Again, there’s technology to change that but I don’t know, whether mentally, she has a (a) hunger.”
Lupone was several spicy chicken wings deep into 2024 Hot ones Episode with Plaza when she admitted she was still salty over the 1988 Tony Awards. Lupone was considered a favorite to take the best actress at home in a musical prize that year for her performance as Reno Sweeney’s revival Anything goesonly for Gleason to win instead for playing the baker’s wife in Into the trees.
On Hot onesPlaza mentioned that Lupone was the winner of the Tony Award three times, before reminding her that she also lost the Tony on another five occasions.
“Which of the actresses beat you deserve their minimum victory?” Plaza asked, with Lupone admitting, “Joanna Gleason would be Into the trees. “
Then Lupone explained joking, “I should have won for Anything f *** ing goes! I love you Joanna, but you stole me! “
Gleason was one of the very few Lupone targets to respond to the Diva, saying Broadway show There were no hard feelings over the few.
“I love her so much, he can say anything she wants,” said Joanna. “He went on to win, like, two others (tonys), right? She did fine. She was very sweet. She also sent me flowers when I won, so she’s a champion. She’s also an inspiration to me.”
Lupone saves her angry Thakedowns for Broadway audience members who do not respect the live theater environment. In 2009, Lupone stopped in the middle of a Gypsy Performance to call out a attendee who intervened in her performance.
“Stop photographing at the moment,” he ordered, before insisting on: “Go out! I won’t continue if they take photos!”
Needless to say, the door was promptly shown to the photographers. An incident in 2016 included lupone literally grabbing a phone away from forgetful Show for days Viewer.
“I feel bad for the people who come here to have a theatrical experience and have ruined,” he explained to ABC NEWS at the time.
With the example of 2016, Lupone was a little more generous to the offender as the woman’s phone was returned after the performance is over.
In 2022, Lupone scarded someone in the audience for not wearing their medical mask properly while going to question and answer a post-mandemic with a cast of Companies.
“Put your mask over your nose,” she insisted. “That’s why you’re in the theater. That’s the rule! If you don’t want to follow the rule, get YF *** out!”
Someone else in the audience that night made the serious mistake of trying to argue with Lupone, insisting they “pay (her pay).”
“You pay my salary? B ****, (the producer) pays my salary,” lupone fired back. “Who do you think are you?”
