Les Miserables. Oliver! The Cradle Will Rock, Anything Goes, and so many more. Tony,
Drama Desk, and Olivier Awards. We are honored and amazed to have the one and only

There is no one like Patti LuPone.” –San Francisco Chronicle

“...the crack timing of a stand-up comedian.” –The New York Post
“...a celebration of the singular stage force she is.” –The Washington Post
