Patti Lupone & Mandy Patinkin September 10, 2010

Patti LuPone and Mandy Patinkin are two of Broadway's most venerated performers, having both won a Tony Award(R) for their performances in Andrew Lloyd Weber's groundbreaking 'Evita' in 1980. Since then they have both starred in film, television, the concert stage and back to Broadway. 'An Evening with Patti LuPone & Mandy Patinkin' brings them together again - at last. "...this show of their own invention gives them plenty of opportunity to dazzle," raves Lawson Taitte of The Dallas Morning News. "Richard Rodgers and Stephen Sondheim divide the honors as the show's principal composers, though there were tunes by songwriters as diverse as Vernon Duke and Antonio Carlos Jobim. But no melody was sung for its own sake. Everything had a dramatic context, however momentary, and was acted full force. You had to laugh. You had to cry. Mr. Patinkin promised he and Miss LuPone would be doing this show for the rest of their lives. We can only hope so." The show is choreographed by fellow Broadway veteran and friend, Ann Reinking, who won a Best Choreography Tony Award(R) for the revival of 'Chicago.' 'An Evening with Patti LuPone & Mandy Patinkin' is accompanied on piano by Mandy Patinkin's longtime pianist, Paul Ford.
