Title: Broadway diva still soars
Review: Many who only know Patti LuPone as "Evita" should take a listen to this spectacular two-disc record of her one-woman show. While Cole Porter and Kurt Weill are fairly represented, the much anticipated 'theatre section' of the concert is what truly thrills. LuPone's soaring vibrato fills each song with almost more feeling than the lyrics can handle, most impressively on "I Dreamed A Dream", "Sleepy Man", and, of course, her signatures "Meadowlark" and "Don't Cry For Me Argentina". The patter is also informative and cozy, revealing with self-deprecating humor many musical theatre experiences for us diehard fans. All in all, this is a must for any fan of musical theatre, the excitement of live recordings, and mostly of one of the great voices of the century. There is simply no substitute for Patti LuPone live...or recorded.
