Two of Broadway's greatest and most venerated stars, Patti LuPone and Mandy Patinkin, are bringing their once-in-a-lifetime musical event to Australia. Appearing together for the first time since the original production of Evita, for which they both won Tony Awards,® they will perform An Evening with Patti LuPone and Mandy Patinkin in Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney in July 2009.
Patti LuPone, who recently received rave reviews for her portrayal of Mama Rose in Gypsy on Broadway, has not performed in Australia since the 1999 Sydney Festival, ten years ago. Following his sell out concert tour of Australia in 2006, Mandy Patinkin has been starring as profiler Jason Gideon in the TV series Criminal Minds.
In An Evening with Patti LuPone and Mandy Patinkin these two amazing artists perform a collection of the greatest songs written for the stage including masterpieces by Stephen Sondheim and Richard Rodgers. This extraordinary show is choreographed by fellow Broadway veteran and friend, Ann Reinking, who won a Best Choreography Tony Award® for the revival of Chicago, and is accompanied on piano by Mandy Patinkin's longtime pianist, Paul Ford.
Producer John Frost says, "What a joy it is to bring Patti and Mandy back to Australia. This is truly Broadway at its best - two musical theatre legends in a funny, passionate, intimate and totally unforgettable evening, an evening that no fan of musicals should miss."
"spellbinding... a celebration of the history and richness of musical theater. And with this beautifully constructed show, they're making a little bit of history again." - Talkin' Broadway
"They may croon "Baby, It's Cold Outside," but Patinkin and LuPone keep the house nice and comfy. The pair radiates their warmth all the way to the theater's back rows." - The Philadelphia Inquirer
