Joseph Thalken is the music director and music supervisor for the concerts, titled A Life in Notes.
Conceived and directed by Tony winner Scott Wittman, LuPone's latest
act is written by Jeffrey Richman with string instrumentalist Brad Phillips. Performances are scheduled for New Jersey, Texas, California, and more, including an April
8 evening at Carnegie Hall.
In her new concert act, the stage and screen star performs an array of songs that are touchstones and reflections on her life
growing up in America—as a young girl during the burgeoning rock-and-roll scene of the '50s, to coming of age in the politically and
socially turbulent '60s, and eventually achieving success on all fronts.
Patti LuPone: A Life in Notes also features
lighting design by John Hastings, sound design by Mark Fiore, and
costume design by Catherine Zuber. Richard Hester is production supervisor.
The current itinerary for the tour, which launched March 2 in Connecticut, follows:
March 8 at the Mayo Performing Arts Center in Morristown, New Jersey March 21 at the Hobby Center for the Performing Arts in Houston, Texas March 23 at Hill Performance Hall at the Charles W.

LuPone also won Tonys for her performances inEvita and the 2008 revival of Gypsy; she won her first Olivier Award for her work in The Cradle Will Rock and Les Misérables, and her second for the 2019 London revival of Company.
The play comes on the heels of a broader cultural conversation about Dahl's work and the prejudice that was embedded in many of his most beloved stories.
