On Broadway, this fresh take on the Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice has become a modern classic. Heralded as “The best new musical of the season” by The Wall Street Journal and “Sumptuous. Gorgeous. As good as it gets” by The New York Times, the show was a breakout hit, with its poignant social commentary and spellbinding music and lyrics. In this audiobook, Anaïs Mitchell takes listeners inside her more than decades-long process of building the musical from the ground up.

Description
“I have been incredibly fortunate over the course of my career to have been associated with some extraordinary dramatic and musical productions, and also some rather spectacular disasters. Looking back, I can find gifts and life lessons in every one.”
The legendary Patti LuPone is one of the theatre’s most beloved leading ladies. Now she lays it all bare, sharing the intimate story of her life both onstage and off - through the dizzying highs and darkest lows - with the humor and outspokenness that have become her trademarks.
With illuminating details about the life of a working actor, from inspired costars and demanding directors to her distinct perspective on how she developed and honed her Tony Award–winning performances, Patti LuPone: A Memoir is as inspirational as it is entertaining. And though the title might say “a memoir,” this is ultimately a love letter to the theater by a unique American artist.
With its insightful retrospective of her career-defining turns, both on Broadway and abroad, in Evita, Les Misérables, Anything Goes, Sunset Boulevard, Sweeney Todd, and Gypsy, Patti LuPone: A Memoir reveals the artist’s deeply felt passion for music and the theatre and is, in the end, the compelling and quintessential tale of an exceptional life well lived.

Excellent
This is well written and excellently narrated by LuPone. Fans of her performances, career, and celebrity persona will love it. Fellow actors will probably appreciate it, as she clearly establishes herself as an actor who has paid her dues and is worth her salt. Those who do not enjoy her regularly probably should avoid this, but her fans will enjoy this well crafted glimpse into her life. I couldn't stop listening!

LuPone's Memoir Hits The High Notes!
Being a fan Patti LuPone I had anticipated this book since Patti had announced she was writing her autobiography a year or so ago, I had intended to only buy the hardcover edition but when Amazon launched Audible.com I thought "what the hell" and bought the audio version too. I'm so glad I did. Patti brings life to her story of her roller-coaster ride of a career--with enough thrilling curves and dips that you'll want to take that ride with her.
Celebrity autobiographies can often be very egocentric reads with the author looking down upon the reader "look what I have done, look where I have been"--in essence, real snooze fests, Fortunately, Ms. LuPone never does that-she speaks to us in that "you see what you get" attitude. Her story is punctuated with painstaking honesty and self-effacing humor peppered with a few well-placed expletives thrown in for good measure. Like many readers I initially bought "Patti LuPone:A Memoir" because I wanted to hear her thoughts on her star-making role in "Evita" to her being unceremoniously dumped from "Sunset Boulevard", but I found every chapter just as interesting as Patti recounts early years on Northport Long Island, through Julliard, her first tastes with success and failure to her landing the coveted role of Evita Peron. Her memoir or rather, she speaks volumes on why she become an actor, her wise and unwise career choices, the thrill of live theatre, the backstage battles, the sacrifice of a personal life, the joy of acting and the love of a live audience all rolled into one big nutshell. If you can't make it to Broadway its nice to know "Patti LuPone: A Memoir" can bring a bit of it to you.

Outstanding
Terrific book. And not just because it's Patti LuPone (though that's a big part of it). It's a very entertaining insider's look into showbusiness. I loved every minute!

Absolutely wonderful!
When I heard Patti LuPone say in an interview that recording the audio version of her memoir had been "fun," I couldn't wait to hear it. Her enthusiastic narration and carefully-crafted narrative make for 8 hours and 30 minutes of pure joy. I smell another Grammy!

Love her!
I already loved Patti LuPone, and this made me love her even more! If you are a performer, this is a must read. She gives such insight to performing that I was crying 10 minutes into the book! And hearing Patti herself tell you the story makes it even better!

Even better the second time through
Only Patti LuPone could capture the pathos and euphoria of the chapters of her own life. The first time I listened right after purchase, I was listening for facts and details. The second time, I listened for emotion. Her journey, as described by La LuPone herself, is at times harrowing and, at others, exhilarating. Her diction in the narrative passages was precise (almost too precise on some passages) but her asides felt real, loose, conversational. Ms. LuPone is generous with her praise of colleagues and persons who helped her on this journey. Those who were part of her emotional and professional lives where positive and negatives existed, were treated as "grays" rather than one shade or another. Those at the wrong end of her ire should be absolutely clear on her recollection and feelings of her encounters with her; I understood where these people stand with her. Wow.

Patti Lupone's Memoir
It was very interesting to hear where Patti got her start and follow her journey through her career, but sometimes she just sounds so pretentious and phony it's unbearable. Her reading was great, of course. Would recommend to Broadway fans.

Which character – as performed by Patti LuPone – was your favorite?
The Concord pilot. He made me laugh out loud.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes it was and I really liked it. I just feel something were left out. Like her having a person kicked out of Gypsy for taking pics. I wanted that kinda of info in the book to hear her side of it.
Any additional comments?
Good book but at times she seemed really bored reading it and at others she seemed really into it and made it more fun to hear. I would love to have heard about her being on Will & Grace. I also like that she does not hold back. She names names and lets people who have F&*Ked her over have it.

Great Book - Must Listen!
Where does Patti LuPone rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
This was one of the best audiobooks I've listened to. However, you really must be a huge fan of musical theater for this book to work for you.
What did you like best about this story?
Let's face it, if you know anything about Patti LuPone, I'm sure you've heard about her legendary career and theater antics over the course of her career. In this book, she puts all of those antics in perspective and does a marvelous job showing how her career has progressed into the mega-diva she is today.
Which character – as performed by Patti LuPone – was your favorite?
Patti - herself.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I don't generally listen to books in one sitting, so I really can't answer this question easily. I prefer listening to books while I'm in the car. I can say that listening to Patti definitely made driving considerably more entertaining!
Any additional comments?
If you're a lover of Patti LuPone or the theater, then this is one of the best inside scoops you'll ever read.

Memoiren einer Legende
Patti LuPones Memoiren von ihr selber vorgelesen zu bekommen ist ein absoluter Genuß. Es ist spannend, erheiternd und teilweise sehr schmerzaft wie sie ganz schnörkellos und zu tiefst menschlich ihren Werdegang erzählt. Und was man in jedem Satz förmlich spüren kann ist ihre tiefe Liebe zu ihrem Beruf und zum amerikanischen Musical Theatre. Ch denke so offen und unverblümt bekommt man selten einen Einblick hinter die Kulissen geboten ohne das es in reinen Gossip abriftet. Ich habe jede Minute genossen so dicht an einer der letzten wirklich großen Broadway Diven dran sein zu dürfen und ich hoffe sehr das das nicht das Ende ihrer Memoiren sein wird.
