Patti LuPone, the legendary and often outspoken three-time Tony Award winner, has found herself at the center of a major controversy following remarks made in a The New Yorker interview published on May 26.

Patti LuPone has apologized for her incendiary remarks about fellow Broadway stars Audra McDonald and Kecia Lewis. LuPone issued a lengthy apology on May 31, one day after more than 500 members of the Broadway community signed an open letter reprimanding her.

LuPone, 76, was starring in The Roommate opposite Tony-nominated Mia Farrow earlier in the Broadway season when she took issue with the loudness of their neighboring show, the Alicia Keys jukebox musical, Hell’s Kitchen. The sound was reportedly bleeding through from theater-to-theater, causing an issue for LuPone.
