One of the greatest Broadway performers and singers of all time, Patti LuPone, will be performing at Atlanta Symphony Hall this Friday and Saturday. Patti LuPone has long been hailed for her magnificent singing voice and acting ability, but with her new book, Patti LuPone: A Memoir , she proves that her authorial voice is just as powerful. I had not seen Gypsy before last night, and to be honest, if not for Ms. Patti LuPone: A Memoir (Crown Archetype, $25.99), written with Digby Diehl, also fulfills all the requirements of a satisfying theatrical autobiography. Sixteen years ago, I happened upon a record (the vinyl kind) of the 1987 cast recording of Anything Goes where she starred as the sassy Reno Sweeney. She also rocked her fans with her 2010 book, Patti LuPone: A Memoir, in which she revisited her Tony-winning turn in Gypsy and trashed Andrew Lloyd Webber for replacing her with Glenn Close in Sunset Boulevard. LuPone, I probably never would have. Though I was interested in Young Frankenstein and Equus, I opted instead for the revival of Gypsy starring the incomparable Patti LuPone as Mama Rose. To say I'm a fan of Patti LuPone's would be an understatement. I would like to read it, but I am actually waiting for Patti LuPone's A Memoir coming out much more.

It is based on the memoirs of Gypsy Rose Lee, the burlesque dancer and stripper, actor and author dominated American stages during the 30s and 40s.
