Mandy Patinkin: Dress Casual Comes to the Warner Sturday Night
By: Kelsey Denette
On Saturday, December 8 at 8pm, Broadway's master songman, Mandy Patinkin, accompanied by Paul Ford on piano, will bring his critically acclaimed theatre concert to the Warner Theatre for one performance only.
To some, he's the Tony Award-winning revolutionary from Evita who grew into a bonafide Broadway star in Sunday in the Park with George. To others, he's the Emmy Award–winning Best Actor, for his portrayal of Dr. Jeffrey Geiger in "Chicago Hope." And to others still, he will always be the man whose name is Inigo Montoya, the swashbuckling swordsman in The Princess Bride. Whichever role you know him for, Mandy Patinkin's favorite is reaching out to live audiences with the power and the passion of popular song.Pamela Sommers of the Washington Post wrote, "The most arresting thing about Patinkin is the conversational, often impassioned qualityof his singing…you find yourself listening like you've never listened before." Clive Barnes of the New York Post called Mandy "the greatest entertainer on Broadway today – period." Tickets for Mandy Patinkin's performance at the Warner are $45, $59.50, $75 and can be purchased by calling the Warner box office at 860-489-7180 or online atwww.warnertheatre.org.Videos
