It Takes Two: Patti LuPone and Mandy Patinkin Together Again

The unbeatable pairing of Broadway heavy hitters Patti LuPone and Mandy Patinkin—both Tony winners for their roles in the original Broadway production of Evita—is back for one week at Philadelphia's Prince Music Theater, October 23–29, in An Evening with Patti LuPone and Mandy Patinkin. The show, choreographed by fellow Broadway legend Ann Reinking, will include songs by Stephen Sondheim and Richard Rodgers among many others.

LuPone garnered a Tony nomination for last year's Broadway production of Sondheim's Sweeney Todd and starred this past summer in Gypsy at New York City Center. Patinkin, a fixture on the small screen in the CBS drama Criminal Minds, originated the title role in Sondheim's Sunday in the Park with George in 1984 and recorded Mandy Patinkin Sings Sondheim for Nonesuch in 2002. He is currently at work on a new project for the label.
