Music has the power to crystallize a moment in time and evoke eras. In her new concert, Patti LuPone: A Life in Notes, the three-time Tony Award winner performs an array of songs which do just that — songs that are touchstones and reflections on her life. In a new show conceived and directed by Scott Wittman and written by Jeffrey Richman, LuPone makes her Lyric debut alongside her longtime musical director Joseph Thalken, in a special evening to celebrate the opening of a new season at Lyric.
