Has anyone seen Patti LuPone's Coulda Woulda Shoulda concert? Is it worth getting tickets to? What is the running time?

Where is it?

No she's not.

She's performing it a few time in places across the country. (Not many times-only about 5-10)

If you check her website, you'll see that she is doing the show several times this year. I really hope I can get to the one in Baltimore.

oh, well, I already have tickets for this when it comes to VA!

I love seeing Patti in concert, and Coulda, Woulda, Shoulda is definitely worth it if you're a fan of hers. I'd say it's somewhere around 2 hours.

(and I love that she's doing her concert with Mandy, two concerts of Coulda, Woulda, Shoulda and then her concert with Mandy again over the course of a week in April.)

OF COURSE it's worth it! I last saw C W S in Jan. 2008 in Dallas, Texas. I'm tickled pink about seeing "An Evening With Patti LuPone and Mandy Patinkin" in San Antonio,Texas on April 5th. It will be a hoot! from RC in Austin, Texas

The concert goes around an hour and a half, not 2-2.5 hours. If you are a Patti fan, I'd definitely recommend it... I saw it when it came to a theatre near me a couple of years back, and it was great. It's just her and the piano, singing whatever she wants (as I believe she says in the concert, if I'm not mistaken). The stories she tells between songs are worth the ticket price alone.

does she do any sort of meet and greet afterwards? when she comes to VA, she has 2 concerts on a Sunday. one is at 5:30, the other at 7:30, so I bought tickets for the second one just incase.

timote, you're definitely closer with the time than I was, haha.

her patter is hysterical, and I know she mixes it up a little in terms of songs, because my friend and I saw different concerts and a few songs were different.

as for stage door...I'd honestly say that it depends. she didn't stage door any of the three concerts of hers I've seen, but I know other people have met her after concerts. so, who knows?

I saw it a few years ago and it was fantastic. Go see it. If you;re a Patti fan you will not regret it.

What songs do Patti and Mandy sing during their concert?

I go to school near Cleveland, and I was already over-the-moon excited to get the Patti and Mandy concert in May.

Now you're telling me that as soon as I get home to Baltimore, she's doing a solo concert NINE MINUTES FROM MY HOUSE?

Crazy.

EDIT: So apparently it's a benefit and tickets are $450 for orchestra, $200 mezzanine. I guess I'll have to drive to Virginia or something . . .

But that was really exciting for a good ten minutes.

if you do end up driving to VA, you will NOT be disappointed. I'm not sure how the setup will be, but its at the Williamsburg Lodge in historic Williamsburg and its GORGEOUS!

Go! Go! Go!

When I saw it about two years ago, the line up included "Meadowlark," "Ladies Who Lunch," "Losing My Mind," "Don't Cry For Me Argentina," "Easy To Be Hard," etc. The second act had a section of male song she's always wanted to do: "Trouble," "Soliloquy," etc.

It was wonderful, the stories were excellent, and the audience ate it up.

MEADOWLARK?

Oh, man. I'm in for a drive.

Her duet from West Side Story ('a boy like that...') was GENIUS, and also worth the price of admission alone.

If you're a fan, definitely go.

PBS should film one of her "Coulda, Woulda, Shoulda" concerts. from RC in Austin, Texas... where it's 75 F.

I'm going to Chapel Hill, NC next week to see C W S. I'm so happy to hear everyone's reviews.

I wonder what happened to the Patti/Mandy show in Lexington, KY on 4/27-28. I was planning to go, but there is still no venue announced on her website or on avidtouring's website and I've not been able to find ticket info. I guess maybe it's not happening.

Patti does different versions of "Coulda, Woulda, Shoulda" depending on what the venue contracts her for. The last time I saw this was at the abominable Tilles Center on Long Island and it was a truncated version because the orchestra played for the 1st half of the evening and Patti did the 2nd.

Check before you buy your tickets.

Are you saying you paid for what you thought would be her C W S concert, and the first half was just orchestra, then she only sang in the second half? Was it half her concert, half the songs she usually sings?

Ms. Lupone 'coulda, woulda, shoulda' if she were . . . well, nicer.
