FOR SALE: Signed First Edition – Patti LuPone: A Memoir (2010) – Directly Tied to the Legendary Barnes & Noble “I Dreamed a Dream” Performance
I’m offering a signed first edition of Patti LuPone: A Memoir (Crown Archetype, 2010) with exceptional, verifiable provenance.
This copy was signed at Patti LuPone’s Barnes & Noble Lincoln Triangle talkback on September 16, 2010—the same event where she gave a now‑famous impromptu performance of “I Dreamed a Dream” after an audience member requested the song and LuPone unfortunately did not have the music with her. Another attendee produced the sheet music from her bag and ran it up to the accompanist as the crowd laughed and cheered. That performance is widely available online, making the provenance easy to confirm.
Provenance includes:
• Attendance at the event
• Insider‑arranged reserved seating (documentation available)
• Signature obtained directly at the signing table
• Direct connection to the performance captured on video
Condition: Excellent. Clean dust jacket, tight binding, bold signature. Photos available.
Price:
• $525
• Open to reasonable offers in the $425–$500 range
This is not just a signed book—it’s a piece of Broadway history tied to one of LuPone’s most beloved public moments. Serious collectors know how rarely a signed copy can be traced to this exact afternoon.
DM for photos, provenance materials, or questions.
