Patti LuPone Brings MATTERS OF THE HEART to BroadwaySF
The performance will take place on Sunday, March 1, 2026.
Three-time Tony Award winner Patti LuPone will bring her critically acclaimed theatrical concert, MATTERS OF THE HEART, to BroadwaySF’s Golden Gate Theatre on Sunday, March 1, 2026 at 6:30 p.m. for one performance only! Tickets go on sale on Friday, October 10, 2025 at 10 a.m. PT.
With the launch of the tour in January 2026, Ms. LUPONE celebrates the 25th Anniversary of the Broadway engagement at the Beaumount Theatre. The show is based on the CD recording of the same name which was released in 1999 and named one of the best recordings of the year by both The Times of London and Time Out New York. Ms. LuPone went on to perform MATTERS OF THE HEART in London’s West End, and tour dates nationally and internationally.
In MATTERS OF THE HEART LuPone takes the audience on an exploration of the crimes, affairs and the mysteries of the heart, with electrifying performances of over two dozen love songs ranging from Broadway favorites to works by today’s top contemporary songwriters. MATTERS OF THE HEART is conceived and directed by Scott Wittman, with musical direction by Joseph Thalken. Original arrangements were by Dick Gallagher with additional arrangements by Joseph Thalken. MATTERS OF THE HEART was written by John Weidman with additional material by Jeffrey Richman and features The Four Play String Quartet.
The New York Post called MATTERS OF THE HEART “an extraordinary concert,” with the Associated Press adding “here is a performer in total command of her voice, the material she sings and the audience who cheers her number after number.” London’s Sunday Telegraph exclaimed “To prove that sophisticated theatre is still alive and well, along comes Patti LuPone. She leaves you in no doubt that she is a star.” And the Sydney Telegraph said it all: “LuPone shows the rest how it should be done. She possesses sassy, classy attitude, a New York swagger, remarkable humor and an immense rich voice. Ah, that voice!”
