Leslie Kritzer Is Patti LuPone at Les Mouches will be presented at the intimate cabaret located within the York Hotel Feb. 23 at 11 PM, Feb. 25 at 7 PM and Feb. 26 at 8 PM. Ben Rimalower directs. In Leslie Kritzer Is Patti LuPone at Les Mouches, the young actress re-creates LuPone's now-legendary concerts at the now-defunct New York nightspot Les Mouches. LuPone's original musical director, David Lewis, returns as musical director for Kritzer's evenings, which utilize the show's original arrangements. Concertgoers can expect to hear such LuPone signature tunes as "Meadowlark," "Rainbow High" and "Don't Cry for Me Argentina" as well as "Because the Night," "Love for Sale," "Downtown," "Not While I'm Around" and "Come Rain or Come Shine."
