MANDY PATINKIN CHARMS IN CONCERT AT WESTPORT COUNTRY PLAYHOUSE

On stage Mandy Patinkin has hobnobbed with the likes of Che in “Evita,” with Stephen Sondheim’s songs along side Broadway star Patti LuPone, in intriguing television films like “Criminal Minds” and “Chicago Hope,” created vignettes of four decades of married life with intimate insights with wife Kathryn Grody and this is just an inch or three in his star packed resume.

Now you have the unique opportunity to meet the man, his modus operandi and his music on Friday, November 21 at 7:30 p.m. at Westport Country Playhouse in “Jukebox,” with Adam Ben-David on piano. This concert with Mandy Patinkin is a new musical treat featuring the singer’s personally selected classic tunes, presented with his signature interpretation of word and song.

Patinkin’s versatility shines as he takes the concert stage, as a recording artist on television and in films. For more than 35 of those 50 years, he has toured in solo concerts from Australia and New Zealand, from New York City to London’s West End, across North America and both on and off-Broadway. In collaboration with such spectacular stars as Patti LuPone, the opera star Nathan Gunn, with Taylor Mac in “The Last Two People on Earth: An Apocalyptic Vaudeville, in “Bridges,” a concert with musicians from various countries in the Middle East, and, most recently, “Mandy Patinkin in Concert: Being Alive.”
