And then there’s Patti. Patti LuPone is in a league of her own. Perhaps it’s her no-nonsense demeanor that doesn’t stand for misbehavior in the theater.
Or maybe it’s her strong opinions that often inspire gay gasps and clutched pearls. Whatever it is, Patti LuPone’s strength of character — and in her characters —stands on its own.
The legend puts that on display on March 23 for one night only with her solo show Patti LuPone: A Life in Notes at the Eisemann Center in Richardson.
