Broadway Reviews

NEW YORK TIMES REVIEW:

"A serious case of whiplash hovers as a distinct possibility throughout “An Evening With Patti LuPone and Mandy Patinkin,” a concert performance and mutual lovefest from these veteran musical theater stars that opened on Monday night at the Ethel Barrymore Theater."

HOLLYWOOD REPORTER REVIEW:

"You gotta love Patti LuPone and Mandy Patinkin. No, really, you gotta absolutely love them to be anything but underwhelmed by this lazily conceived valentine. As generic as its title suggests, An Evening With Patti LuPone and Mandy Patinkin coasts along on the two performers’ relaxed humor and genuine fondness for each other. But it rarely goes anyplace personal or revelatory."

ASSOCIATED PRESS REVIEW:

"Here's a typical reaction after catching Patti LuPone and Mandy Patinkin's concert show now on Broadway: Oh, that's how it's done. In other words, that's how songs by Stephen Sondheim and Jerome Kern or Rodgers and Hammerstein should sound. That's how two veteran performers can keep you spellbound with no props except a pair of rolling chairs and some floor lamps. That's how a concert can be both intimate and goofy, touching and confident."

VARIETY REVIEW:

""Old folks sit around by the television set, sighing one perpetual sigh," according to Kander and Ebb's song "Old Folks," which opens the second act of "An Evening With Patti LuPone and Mandy Patinkin." LuPone and Patinkin are certainly not old folks, except perhaps to theatergoers in their teens or 20s, and they are still vibrant performers. But the atmosphere of "old folks" -- and a nostalgic, sit-around-with-friends-in-the-living-room feeling -- permeates the affair. Pleasant and sweet are not words you might ordinarily associate with these two, but their Broadway concert is both."

ACCESS ATLANTA REVIEW:

"With a combined 74 years of Broadway experience and more than a dozen main-stem musicals under their belts, Patti LuPone and Mandy Patinkin could probably put together a bang-up concert built entirely on their greatest hits (Evita, Oliver!, Anything Goes, Gypsy, Sweeney Todd, Sunday in the Park With George, The Secret Garden, Falsettos, The Wild Party...). But the stars — who shared the stage in 1979's Evita (for which they both won Tony Awards) — have something much more special in store in An Evening With Patti LuPone and Mandy Patinkin, their intimate two-person show that's finally landed on Broadway (through Jan. 13) after nearly a decade of touring the country."
