Patti LuPone: Don’t Monkey With Broadway 2017


Patti LuPone: Don’t Monkey With Broadway Album Cover Art About the Album: Two-time Tony Award and Grammy Award winner Patti LuPone returns to her roots with her new double-disc live album, “Don’t Monkey With Broadway.” Currently starring on Broadway in War Paint, and having taken her rightful place a Broadway legend, her style is stamped with an implicit credo: all guts, all glory. Recorded in concert in her hometown of Northport, Long Island, at the John W. Engeman Theatre, Ms. LuPone takes you behind the curtain on her life-long love affair with Broadway and her concern for what the Great White Way is becoming today.

Produced by Michael J. Moritz Jr., “Don’t Monkey With Broadway” features musical direction and arrangements by Joseph Thalken. Ms. LuPone is also joined by the Northport High School Tour Choir.
