originally published: 02/06/2025

(NEWARK, NJ) -- Three-time Tony Award winner Patti LuPone will be performing her latest show, A Life In Notes, at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center (NJPAC) on Sunday, March 2, 2025. Showtime is 3:00pm.

This performance was rescheduled from its original date of February 2 due to an illness that required Ms. LuPone to postpone. All tickets purchased will be honored at this date.

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 that are touchstones and reflections on her life growing up in America. The songs range from her youth during the burgeoning rock ‘n’ roll scene of the 1950s, to coming of age in the politically and socially turbulent ’60s, to eventually achieving success with both career and family.

Tickets range from $49-$99 and are available for purchase online, by calling 888.GO.NJPAC (888.466.5722) or by visiting the NJPAC Box Office.  New Jersey Performing Arts Center (NJPAC) is located at One Center Street in Newark, New Jersey.

Patti LuPone is a three-time Tony Award winner for her performances as Joanne in Marianne Elliott’s award-winning production of the Stephen Sondheim / George Furth musical Company, Madame Rose in the most recent Broadway revival of the Jule Styne / Stephen Sondheim / Arthur Laurents classic Gypsy, and the title role in the original Broadway production of Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice’s Evita.
