She made her Broadway debut the following year in "Three Sisters."

LuPone received the first of six Tony Award nominations for her performance in the 1975 musical "The Robber Bridegroom." She won the Tony Award for Best Actress in a Musical for her role as Eva Perón in the 1979 original Broadway production of "Evita." LuPone played Fantine in the original London cast of "LES MISERABLES" and Moll in "The Cradle Will Rock," winning her the 1985 Olivier Award for Best Actress in a Musical for both performances.

Patti LuPone's film credits include "Witness" (1985), Oscar winner "Driving Miss Daisy" (1989), "State and Main" (2000) and "Parker" (2013).

"Coulda, Woulda, Shoulda" was conceived and directed by Scott Whitman, with musical arrangements by Dick Gallagher. LuPone's performance will be backed by a pianist who will play the theatre's 117 year-old Steinway piano that was purchased in 2005 as a result of a generous donation to the theatre.
