Patti Lupone at Segerstrom Center for the Arts

She has won the Tony, Drama Desk, Outer Critics Circle, Drama League and Grammy Awards. Along the way, she has starred with LA Opera and San Francisco’s Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra. LuPone is a performer who does it all. The New York Times wrote of her recent recording, “Far Away Places certifies Ms. LuPone’s place in the lineage of quirky international chanteuses like Lotte Lenya, Marlene Dietrich and Edith Piaf, who, like Ms. LuPone, conquered show business with forceful, outsize personalities while playing by their own musical rules."
