Mandy Patinkin News

Whether it's historic Off-Broadway theatres being replaced by chain stores and condos after their rents are tripled or beloved long-time Coney Island businesses facing eviction if they don't conform to the bland, antiseptic vision of new planners, New Yorkers are very familiar with the culture vs. commerce issues Anton Chekhov was writing about in The Cherry Orchard.

Patti LuPone co-hosted the hour-long show with regular hosts Jane Hanson, Sara Gore and Jacque Reid, and Mandy Patinkin appeared as a guest to talk about Broadway's AN EVENING WITH PATTI LUPONE AND MANDY PATINKIN as well as Mandy's hit TV series, 'Homeland.'

In The Book of Mormon, the young Ugandan ingénue sings of a fantasy world she imagines where all the warlords are friendly.  And while in J.T. Rogers' intriguing drama of 1980s American foreign policy, Blood and Gifts, Afghan warlord Abdullah Kahn isn't exactly depicted as a saint, the author paints him as a man deeply dedicated to his family and the culture of his people who, like a typical American father, has job-related headaches (trying to secure weapons to defend his soil against the Soviets) and can't understand the music his son listens to (Rod Stewart's 'Do Ya Think I'm Sexy' and Tina Turner's 'What's Love Got to Do with It').  As played by Bernard White, he is a humble and patriotic man of dignity.

Patti LuPone and Mandy Patinkin will appear on WNBC-TV's "New York Live" tomorrow, Tuesday, November 29 from 3pm to 4pm. Patti LuPone will co-host the hour-long show with regular hosts Jane Hanson, Sara Gore and Jacque Reid, and Mandy Patinkin will also appear as a guest to talk about Broadway's AN EVENING WITH PATTI LUPONE AND MANDY PATINKIN as well as Mandy's hit TV series, "Homeland."

Modern-day master of musical theatre Stephen Sondheim is about to release the second book of his complete collected lyrics - covering mostly everything written in the last three decades and in this one so far - titled after a line from what may very well be his ultimate masterpiece, the Pulitzer Prize-winning SUNDAY IN THE PARK WITH GEORGE - LOOK, I MADE A HAT; Collected Lyrics (1981-2011) with Attendant Comments, Amplifications, Dogmas, Harangues, Digressions, Anecdotes and Miscellany. So, today, we are going to be taking a look at a litany of the finest moments from Sondheim's post-SWEENEY TODD musicals that are highlighted in LOOK, I MADE A HAT and perhaps discover a few of the many reasons why Sondheim's musicals - whether late-period or early on- are the best of the best Broadway has to offer - now or ever. And, what an absolutely mind-blowing list it is - and what a masterpiece of a book!
