Patti LuPone reaches #25 on this week's Billboard Heatseekers Chart with the Ghostlight release of 'Patti LuPone at Les Mouches'. This marks the first time in Ms. LuPone's storied career that she's charted on Billboard under her own name, and it marks Ghostlight's highest Heatseeker chart debut-to-date.

'Patti LuPone at Les Mouches' is a 'time capsule' of 1980's Pop Culture, released for the first time ever, in any format. The historic album captures a moment in time and offers a snapshot of LuPone during her 'Evita' days: The year was 1980, and she was on her way to winning the Tony Award for Best Actress in a Musical. But every Saturday night at midnight, for 27 weeks, after performing one of the most demanding roles ever, LuPone made her way to Les Mouches - a legendary nightclub in New York City, to perform a solo concert...This was a one-woman tour de force that -- until now -- only the lucky few who were on hand knew about.

'Patti LuPone at Les Mouches' is a digitally-restored concert recording of LuPone's 1980 solo show. Ghostlight President Kurt Deutsch, along with longtime producing partner Joel Moss and co-producers Ben Rimalower and David Lewis, have culled performances from the venue's original board mixes, and assembled a recording that captures the raw energy and excitement of a once in a lifetime concert event, and a moment in time. Everybody who was anybody was there, from Andy Warhol to Jodie Foster to Stephen Sondheim. It was literally the hottest ticket in town. This music has never been released before, in any format. It is now available for purchase via http://www.sh-k-boom.com/Patti_LesMouches.shtml, at iTunes, and instores.
