The Creative Life: Patti Lupone

Conversation — 7:00 p.m., Page Hall, 135 Western Avenue, Downtown Campus Patti LuPone, one of musical theatre’s most beloved leading ladies, returned to Broadway in 2017 with a Tony-nominated performance as cosmetics pioneer Helena Rubinstein in "War Paint." LuPone’s Broadway career accolades span decades, and include the Tony Award for her leading role in "Evita" (1980) and the Tony, Drama Desk, and Outer Critics Circle awards for her performance as Rose in the Broadway revival of "Gypsy" (2008). Her autobiography, "Patti LuPone: A Memoir" (2010), was a New York Times bestseller that shared the intimate story of her life both onstage and off — through the dizzying highs and darkest lows — with the humor and outspokenness that have become her trademarks. The "Creative Life" series features leading figures from a variety of artistic disciplines in conversation with WAMC’s "Roundtable" host Joe Donahue about their creative inspiration, craft, and careers. Created and produced by the New York State Writers Institute, University Art Museum, and UAlbany Performing Arts Center in collaboration with WAMC Northeast Public Radio. Free and open to the public.
