Joseph Thalken is the music director and music supervisor for the concerts, titled A Life in Notes.
Conceived and directed by Tony winner Scott Wittman, LuPone's latest
act is written by Jeffrey Richman with string instrumentalist Brad Phillips. Performances are scheduled for New Jersey, Texas, California, and more, including an April
8 evening at Carnegie Hall.
In her new concert act, the stage and screen star performs an array of 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 '50s, to coming of age in the politically and
socially turbulent '60s, and eventually achieving success on all fronts.
Patti LuPone: A Life in Notes also features
lighting design by John Hastings, sound design by Mark Fiore, and
costume design by Catherine Zuber. Richard Hester is production supervisor.
