Connecticut's Shubert Theatre & Katharine Hepburn Cernter to Broadcast LuPone Concert, 2/4

Several Connecticut theatres will broadcast Patti LuPone's appearance on the popular "Live From New York's 92nd Street Y" on February 4th. LuPone's concert, "The Broadway Life" will be seen at The Shubert Theatre in New Haven, beginning at 8:15pm as well as at The Katharine Hepburn Cultural Center in Old Saybrook. The evening will also feature Leonard Lopste.

Patti LuPone's performance career has spanned 30 years and partnerships with such luminaries as Mandy Patinkin, David Mamet, Andrew Lloyd Webber and Stephen Sondheim. The powerhouse performer recently won the Tony, Drama Desk, Outer Critics Circle and Drama League's Best Actress in a Musical Award for her role as Mama Rose in the critically-acclaimed Broadway production of the Jule Styne-Stephen Sondheim-Arthur Laurents musical Gypsy.

LuPone's other recent stage credits include her debut with the Los Angeles Opera in Kurt Weill's Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny; the world premiere of Jake Heggie's new opera To Hell and Back with San Francisco's Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra; Mrs. Lovett in John Doyle's award-winning Broadway production of Stephen Sondheim's Sweeney Todd (a role which garnered her Tony, Drama Desk, Outer Critics Circle Award nominations for Best Actress in a Musical and a Drama League Award for Outstanding Contribution to Musical Theatre); a critically-acclaimed performance as Fosca in a concert version of Stephen Sondheim's Passion, which was also broadcast on PBS' Live From Lincoln Center; and a multi-city tour of her theatrical concert "Matters of the Heart." She is currently on tour with Mandy Patinkin in a special concert 'An Evening with Patti LuPone and Mandy Patinkin.'
