Three-time Tony Award winner Patti LuPone will bring her new concert A LIFE IN NOTES to Australia this winter, directly from Carnegie Hall.
LuPone will headline the Adelaide Cabaret Festival before undertaking a national tour stopping in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane.
The Broadway, film and television superstar will perform an array of songs which do just that, songs that are touchstones and reflections on her life growing up in America – as a young girl during the burgeoning rock and roll scene of the fifties, to coming of age in the politically and socially turbulent sixties, to eventually achieving success with both career and family.
The entirely new concert is conceived and directed by Scott Wittman, with music supervision and direction by Joseph Thalken, written by Jeffrey Richman, with string instrumentalist Brad Phillips.
LuPone has one of the most recognisable names and one of the most celebrated voices in theatre history. Her credits include Sweeney Todd, Anything Goes, and the original London productions of Les Miserables and Sunset Boulevard and her Tony Award winning work in Evita, Gypsy and Marianne Elliot’s new production of Company. On screen she has starred in Life Goes On, Frasier, 30 Rock, Penny Dreadful, Pose, Hollywood, American Horror Story and the upcoming Marvel series Agatha: Darkhold Diaries.
A LIFE IN NOTES marks LuPone’s third concert tour in Australia and follows her triumphant debut here in 1981 as Eva Peron in Evita.
“I love Australia and the many friends I’ve made since 1981. I’m so looking forward to coming back. I hope audiences will enjoy my show A Life in Notes, a musical memoir of my life growing up in America,” LuPone said.
Patti LuPone will perform at the Palais Theatre in St Kilda on Monday 24 and Tuesday 25 June 2024. To go on the ticket waitlist visit www.pattilupone.com.au
