Patti LuPone: A Life in Notes
A musical touchstone of a life
Conceived and directed by Scott Wittman
Music direction and arrangements by Joseph Thalken
Written by Jeffrey Richman
Music has the power to crystallize a moment in time and evoke eras. In her new concert, Patti LuPone: A Life in Notes, the three-time Tony Award winner performs an array of songs which do just that-songs that are touchstones and reflections on her life growing up in America-from a young girl during the burgeoning rock and roll scene of the fifties, to coming of age in the politically and socially turbulent sixties, to eventually achieving success with both career and family.
PATTI LUPONE is a three-time Tony Award winner for her performances as Joanne in Marianne Elliott's award-winning production of the Stephen Sondheim-George Furth musical Company; Madame Rose in the most recent Broadway revival of the Jule Styne-Stephen Sondheim-Arthur Laurents classic Gypsy; and the title role in the original Broadway production of Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice's Evita. Her NY stage credits include: The Roommate; War Paint (Tony, Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle Award nominations); Shows for Days; The Seven Deadly Sins (NY City Ballet); Company (NY Philharmonic); Woman on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown (Tony, Drama Desk, OCC Award nominations); Sweeney Todd (Tony, Drama Desk, OCC nominations); Anything Goes (Tony nomination., Drama Desk Award); Oliver!; and The Robber Bridegroom (Tony and Drama Desk nominations). London: Company (Olivier Award, WhatsOn Stage Award); Master Class; Sunset Boulevard (Olivier Award nomination); Les Miserables; and The Cradle Will Rock (Olivier Award for her performances in both productions). Opera: The Ghosts of Versailles (LA Opera), To Hell and Back (SF Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra), The Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny (LA Opera-debut), Regina (Kennedy Center). Film & TV: Beau is Afraid, Union Square, Driving Miss Daisy, Witness; Marvel's Agatha All Along, Hollywood, Pose, Mom, Penny Dreadful (Critics Choice Award nomination), American Horror Story ("NYC" and "Coven"), Frasier (Emmy nomination), and four seasons as Libby Thatcher on ABC's Life Goes On.
