Mandy Patinkin
Mandy Patinkin in Concert: Being Alive
with Adam Ben-David on piano
Kentucky Performing Arts Presentation
To some, 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 from “Chicago Hope” or CIA Agent Saul Berenson from the award-winning Showtime series “Homeland.” And to others still, he will always be the man whose name is Inigo Montoya, the swashbuckling swordsman in The Princess Bride.
Whichever role you know him for, Mandy Patinkin’s favorite is reaching out to live audiences with the power and the passion of popular son, and Mandy Patinkin in Concert is a merger of his favorite Broadway and classic American tunes
(from Rodgers and Hammerstein to Stephen Sondheim, Harry Chapin, and back to Irving Berlin and Cole Porter), with selections from the new recording MANDY PATINKIN: Diary.

The Paul Taylor Dance Company
