"Many try, but few have the knockout punch of LuPone." - The Washington Post

For decades, award-winning performer Patti LuPone has been dazzling audiences with her captivating stage presence and undeniable passion. In 2008, she won every theatre award, including the coveted Tony Award, for Best Actress in a musical for her performance in Gypsy.

After completing her training with the first class of the Drama Division of New York's Juilliard School, she began her career as a founding member of John Houseman's The Acting Company, playing a variety of leading roles both on and off-Broadway.

Miss LuPone's recent stage credits include her debut with the Los Angeles Opera in Weill-Brecht's Mahagonny, which garnered two Grammy Awards for its CD recording.

In The Gypsy in My Soul, the two-time Tony Award-winner performs songs associated with her Broadway career (from such shows as Gypsy, Anything Goes and Oliver!) as well as some of her personal pop favorites.

A Schaefer Popular Series Event, sponsored by Westglow Resort & Spa and Rowland's Restaurant. Made possible through the generous support of Bonnie and Jamie Schaefer.

Pre-concert concessions provided by Peabody's Wine & Beer Merchants and Storie Street Grille from 6 - 7:15pm.
