'Patti LuPone: A Memoir' Gets Paperback Release, 11/8

'Patti LuPone: A Memoir,' which was released in September 2010, will be available in paperback on beginning November 8. Chronicling her life from her childhood through her Tony-winng role in 2008's GYPSY, the book will cost $15.

Patti LuPone's performance career has spanned 30 years and partnerships with such luminaries as Mandy Patinkin, David Mamet, Andrew Lloyd Webber and Stephen Sondheim. The powerhouse performer recently won the Tony, Drama Desk, Outer Critics Circle and Drama League's Best Actress in a Musical Award for her role as Mama Rose in the critically-acclaimed Broadway production of the Jule Styne-Stephen Sondheim-Arthur Laurents musical Gypsy.

LuPone's other recent stage credits include her debut with the Los Angeles Opera in Kurt Weill's Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny; the world premiere of Jake Heggie's new opera To Hell and Back with San Francisco's Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra; Mrs. Lovett in John Doyle's award-winning Broadway production of Stephen Sondheim's Sweeney Todd (a role which garnered her Tony, Drama Desk, Outer Critics Circle Award nominations for Best Actress in a Musical and a Drama League Award for Outstanding Contribution to Musical Theatre); a critically-acclaimed performance as Fosca in a concert version of Stephen Sondheim's Passion, which was also broadcast on PBS' Live From Lincoln Center; and a multi-city tour of her theatrical concert "Matters of the Heart." She will soon return to Broadway in 'An Evening with Patti LuPone and Mandy Patinkin.'
