Patti LuPone How Turtle Creek Chorale got Patti LuPone to headline its Rhapsody gala RICH LOPEZ | Staff writerrich@dallasvoice.com The Turtle Creek Chorale has something going on.
They at least have a special kind of magic, which is evident in the chorale’s third fundraising gala. They kicked off their new signature event, the annual Rhapsody gala, in 2020 with Broadway queen Idina Menzel (just before COVID hit).
Oh and, then they followed up with six-time Tony Award winner Audra McDonald. You know, no big deal. How do they even top that off? “To have three Broadway divas in a row?
That is not normal to get these performers,” admitted Turtle Creek Chorale’s Senior Director of Advancement Mike Dilbeck. “I don’t know how we do it.” But TCC just simply decided to do just that, to go and get a legend for this year’s event.
