Patti LuPone to Bring DON'T MONKEY WITH BROADWAY to State Theatre

By:
Two-time Tony Award winner Patti LuPone returns to the State Theatre on Friday, November 4th for a concert performance entitled Don't Monkey with Broadway. The night includes a special appearance by the Parkland High School Chorale.

Show time is 7:30 PM. Tickets are $59 & $49 and can be purchased by visiting the State Theatre Box Office, 453 Northampton Street, Easton, by calling 1-800-999-STATE, 610.252.3132 or online at www.statetheatre.org. Sponsored by 69 WFMZ-TV.

In Don't Monkey with Broadway, Patti LuPone explores, through indelible interpretations of classic Broadway show tunes by the likes of Richard Rodgers, Lorenz Hart, Jule Styne, Stephen Schwartz, Charles Strouse, Leonard Bernstein, Stephen Sondheim, Cole Porter and Irving Berlin, how her life-long love affair with Broadway began and her concern for what the Great White Way is becoming today.

LuPone's film and television credits extend from the 70s to present day but she is most known for her time on Broadway with comparable longevity. She won her first Tony Award in 1978 as the title character Evita and again won Best Actress in a Musical in 2008 for her role in Gypsy. LuPone also won two Grammy Awards in 2008 and was a 2006 American Theatre Hall of Fame inductee.

Patti LuPone returns to the State Theatre for the first time since February of 2011 when she performed with fellow Tony Award winner Mandy Patinkin. The two starred together in the original Broadway production of Evita. Don't Monkey with Broadway caps off "Broadway Week" at the State Theatre which begins with a 20th Anniversary performance of RENT on Tuesday, November 1st.

The Parkland Chorale is a select vocal ensemble of 40 mixed voices chosen from the ranks of the Vocal Music Department at Parkland High School. The group meets after school twice a week to prepare music to present to the school and community as representatives of Parkland High School and the Lehigh Valley Community. Their vocal repertoire ranges from Renaissance to Jazz; from Classical to Broadway.
