Patti LuPone: Don't Monkey With Broadway

The show was conceived and directed by Scott Wittman with musical direction by Joseph Thalken.

A graduate of the first class of the Drama Division of New York's Juilliard School and a founding member of John Houseman's The Acting Company in which she toured the country for four years, her New York credits list is long and decorated. She's also appeared in several films and TV shows, including City by the Sea, Driving Miss Daisy, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, Girls, American Horror Story: Coven,Glee, 30 Rock and Ugly Betty.
