Singer and actress Patti LuPone’s career in Broadway and Hollywood spans four decades. She is a multiple GRAMMY® and Tony Award winner, inducted into the American Theater Hall of Fame in 2006.
Since establishing herself with a Tony Award-winning performance as Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Evita, she has impressed audiences and critics alike in Les Miserables, Sunset Boulevard, Sweeney Todd and Gypsy (for which she won another Tony Award in 2008).
In Don’t Monkey with Broadway, Patti LuPone explores, through indelible interpretations of classic Broadway show tunes by the likes of Richard Rodgers, Lorenz Hart, Jule Styne, Stephen Schwartz, Charles Strouse, Leonard Bernstein, Stephen Sondheim, Cole Porter and Irving Berlin, how her life-long love affair with Broadway began and her concern for what Manhattan’s Theatre District - the Great White Way - is becoming today.
Few performers show the kind of dedication and commitment to their material, and to connecting with their audience, as this GRAMMY® and Tony Award-winning star. It’s little exaggeration to state that LuPone has outdone herself with her new show, which debuted in New York to raucous cheers.
