Far Away Places Live at 54 Below

Product Description Who better to kick off the 54 BELOW label live album series than with this 2013 release from the legendary Patti LuPone? Includes songs by Kurt Weill ("Bilbao Song," "Ah, the Sea Is Blue," "Pirate Jenny," and "September Song"), Stephen Sondheim ("By the Sea") and Cole Porter ("Come to the Supermarket in Old Peking") and more! Review [Patti] embodies decades of show business history. And her brilliant show, conceived and directed by her longtime collaborator, Scott Wittman, deserves many lives, perhaps even a Broadway run in an expanded edition. It certifies Ms. LuPone's place in the lineage of quirky international chanteuses like Lotte Lenya, Marlene Dietrich and Edith Piaf, who, like Ms. LuPone, conquered show business with forceful, outsize personalities while playing by their own musical rules. --New York Times Every now and again there comes an experience that you immediately know you will always remember. That happened for me at Patti LuPone's cabaret evening 'Far Away Places,' christening the snazzy new nightclub 54 Below, which occupies the basement of Studio 54. LuPone levitated the audience of Broadway insiders in the intimate room, compellingly designed by John Lee Beatty in the style of a 1920s speakeasy, as effortlessly as she might flash one of her sly smiles. It was, simply, magic. --Backstage Every now and again there comes an experience that you immediately know you will always remember.
