The three-time Tony Award winning singer/actor will be performing an array of musical “touchstones and reflections of her life growing up in America, from the ’50s to today… from a young girl during the burgeoning rock and roll scene of the ’50s, to coming of age in the politically and socially turbulent ’60s, to eventually achieving success with both career and family,” promotional materials note.
Lupone, for those who must have been hiding under a very heavy rock for the last 60-some-odd years, won Tony Awards for her performances as Joanne in Company, Madame Rose in the most recent Broadway revival of Gypsy and the title role in the original Broadway production of Evita. Her New York stage credits include: The Roommate, War Paint, Shows for Days, The Seven Deadly Sins, Woman on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown, Sweeney Todd, Noises Off, The Old Neighborhood, Master Class, Anything Goes, Oliver!, Accidental Death of An Anarchist, The Water Engine and The Robber Bridegroom.
Shows among her stage performances in London include Sunset Boulevard, Les Miserables and The Cradle Will Rock. Her opera credits include The Ghosts of Versailles, To Hell and Back, The Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny and Regina (Kennedy Center).
Lupone has also made her mark on screens both big and small in Beau is Afraid, The School for Good and Evil, Last Christmas, Cliffs of Freedom, The Comedian, Parker, Union Square, Driving Miss Daisy, Witness, Agatha All Along, Hollywood, Pose, Mom, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, Penny Dreadful, Girls, American Horror Story ( NYC and Coven), 30 Rock, Glee, Frasier and Life Goes On.
She is also a founding member of both the Drama Division of The Juilliard School and John Houseman’s The Acting Company and the author of the NY Times best-seller Patti LuPone: A Memoir.
Her Life In Notes concert was conceived and directed by Scott Wittman and written by Jeffrey Richman, with music direction and arrangements by Joseph Thalken.
