Patti LuPone releases new album

17-07-24

Center Stage Records have released Patti LuPone: A Life in Notes. Her first new studio album since 2006, the Grammy Award winner’s new double album is available digitally now, and on CD on August 30, 2024.

Music has the power to crystallize a moment in time and evoke eras. With A Life in Notes, the three-time Tony Award winner performs an array of songs that are touchstones and reflections on her life growing up in America. The songs range from her youth during the burgeoning rock and roll scene of the fifties, to coming of age in the politically and socially turbulent sixties, to eventually achieving success with both career and family.

Matinee favourite LuPone, who returns to Broadway in The Roommate this Autumn, and has announced UK dates, is often hailed as a true embodiment of the Golden Age of Broadway, a rare gem who can make every individual in a crowd of thousands feel as if she’s speaking and singing directly to them. LuPone and her long-time music director Joseph Thalken on piano, along with Brad Phillips on strings, celebrate through the storytelling magic of song, a legendary career almost six decades in the making. “A Life in Notes” was conceived and directed by Scott Wittman, and the concert was written by Jeffrey Richman. The studio album is produced by Emmy Award-winner Michael Croiter, and executive produced by Patti LuPone, Van Dean and Staci Levine.
