Patti LuPone Caps Symphony Space's Project B-Way/95 With DON'T MONKEY WITH BROADWAY

Tonight's 8pm solo concert by Broadway legend Patti LuPone, titled "Don't Monkey With Broadway," will be the final live performance of Symphony Space's two-week festival, Project B-Way/95. The festival gets its name from the fact that Symphony Space is located at the corner of Broadway and 95th Street.

Cole Porter's "Please Don't Monkey With Broadway," introduced by Fred Astaire and George Murphy in the film BROADWAY MELODY OF 1940, is a plea to keep The Great White Way as it is amidst New York's ever-changing landscape.

LuPone's concert will include classic showtunes from Porter, as well as from the likes of Richard Rodgers, Lorenz Hart, Jule Styne, Stephen Schwartz, Charles Strouse, Leonard Bernstein, Stephen Sondheim and Irving Berlin. She'll also share memories of how her life-long love affair with Broadway began and express her concern for what Broadway is becoming today.
