To some fans he’s the Tony Award-winning revolutionary from Evita who grew into a bonafide Broadway star in Sunday in the Park with George. To others, he’s the Emmy Award-winning Best Actor for his portrayal of Dr. Jeffrey Geiger in Chicago Hope, or the star of the CBS drama series Criminal Minds. To some, he’s Madonna’s piano man in Dick Tracy or the scholar who made Streisand swoon in Yentl. And to others still, he will alwasy be the man whose name is Inigo Montoya, the swashbuckling swordsman in The Princess Bride. But whichever role you know him for, Mandy Patinkin’s favorite is reaching out to live audiences with the power and the passion of popular song.
Patinkin brings his critically acclaimed theatre concert to Casa Manana for a fundraising gala benefiting the theater’s ambitious arts education programs. Nothing short of electrifying, the show includes interpretations of popular standards, superbly accompanied by Paul Ford at the piano. From Rodgers & Hammerstein to Stephen Sondheim, Harry Chapin, Claude-Michel Schonber and back to Irving Berlin and Cole Porter, Mandy Patinkin: In Concert takes audiences on a musical journey they’ll never forget.
