Patti LuPone in Matters of the Heart at the Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall (Feb. 18) – sponsored
“Sublime. A tribute to the overwhelming power of love. An emotional autobiography.” – Variety
“This show is about as close to perfection as you’re likely to get.” – Philadelphia Inquirer
There are Broadway stars, and then there is Patti LuPone: A fireball of talent, a musical force to be reckoned with, and a true once-in-a-generation artist and entertainer who makes news every time she takes the stage!
She is, of course, a three-time Tony Award winner for her performances as Joanne in Marianne Elliott’s award-winning production of the Stephen Sondheim-George Furth musical Company, Madame Rose in the 2008 Broadway revival of the Jule Styne-Stephen Sondheim-Arthur Laurents classic Gypsy and the title role in the original Broadway production of Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice’s Evita.
Segerstrom Center is so fortunate to have a rich history with this great lady of the stage and we are eagerly awaiting her return in the 25th Anniversary of her acclaimed theatrical concert Matters of the Heart, which she performed for extended runs on Broadway, London’s West End, as well on tour nationally and internationally.
In Matters of the Heart, LuPone takes the audience on an exploration of the crimes, affairs and the mysteries of the heart, with electrifying performances of over two dozen love songs ranging from Broadway favorites to works by today’s top contemporary songwriters.
Spend the evening with a living legend – don’t miss Patti LuPone in Matters of the Heart.
