The critically acclaimed entertainer and Tony Award-winner Patti LuPone will showcase her one-woman show “Coulda, Woulda, Shoulda,” which she recently debuted at Carnegie Hall. Her not-to-miss show is set for Saturday, April 25, at 8 p.m. in Pfeiffer Hall. Her concert act “Coulda, Woulda, Shoulda” was conceived and directed by “Hairspray’s” Scott Wittman and features songs LuPone “could have played, should have played, did play and will play.” Audiences on April 25 can expect to hear tunes from “Hair,” “Bye Bye Birdie,” “Funny Girl,” “West Side Story,” “Anything Goes” and more, performed in a way that is uniquely LuPone. She won her Tony Award for work in “Evita” and an Olivier Award for her performances in the West End productions of “Les Misérables” and “The Cradle Will Rock.” Her other theatrical credits include “Sunset Boulevard,” “Anything Goes,” “Oliver!,” “Working,” “The Old Neighborhood,” “Master Class” and “Pal Joey.”

LuPone also headlined two solo Broadway concerts, “Patti LuPone On Broadway” and “Matters of the Heart,” and received glowing notices for her performance as Mrs. Lovett in the Lincoln Center concert version of Stephen Sondheim’s “Sweeney Todd” and a Tony nomination for her performance in the recent revival of that Sondheim work. LuPone has appeared in opera productions, including San Francisco’s Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra, Weill-Brecht’s “The Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny” for the Los Angeles Opera and Marc Blitzstein’s “Regina” at The Kennedy Center. LuPone is also known for her many film roles, such as “Driving Miss Daisy,” and television appearances in the Emmy-winning telecasts of “Passion” and “Sweeney Todd,” “Will & Grace,” “Ugly Betty,” “Monday Night Mayhem,” “Evening At the Pops” with John Williams, and many more.
