Broadway’s Patti LuPone to Release First Album in Nearly 20 Years

July 17 (UPI) — Patti LuPone is set to release her first new studio album in nearly 20 years this Friday.

Titled Patti LuPone: A Life in Notes, the album is designed to evoke specific moments from her youth, a press release indicates.

The album encompasses a range of emotions and historical references. “The songs range from her youth during the burgeoning rock and roll scene of the fifties, to coming of age in the politically and socially turbulent sixties, to eventually achieving success with both career and family,” the release described.

The first disc in the album contains songs with intriguing titles such as “We Kiss in a Shadow / Teen Angel / Town without Pity” and “Lilac Wine.”

The second disc includes classics like “Don’t Cry for Me Argentina” and “I Dreamed a Dream.”

“This one is very special to me,” LuPone shared on Instagram regarding a concert tour of the same name. She described the series as a “musical touchstone of a performer’s life.”

LuPone, a celebrated artist, boasts two Grammy award wins for Weill: Rise And Fall Of The City Of Mahagonny. She has also won Tony Awards for her performances in Evita, Gypsy, and Company. Looking ahead, she will co-star with Mia Farrow in Broadway’s The Roommate, set to open in September.
