Why see Mandy Patinkin?
Mandy Patinkin Sings Broadway Favorites
First rising to mainstream attention as the feisty Spanish fencer who uttered the immortal lines "My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die." in the endlessly quotable 1987 cult film The Princess Bride, Hollywood heavyweight Mandy Patinkin has courted the spotlight on both stage and screen, simultaneously making a name for himself on Broadway with Tony-winning and nominated turns in Evita and Sunday In the Park With George.
Performing the show tunes and songs that have punctuated his prolific career, Patinkin will also perform original material written with collaborator Thomas Bartlett for his Diary albums. With an easy going and relaxed persona, the icon and his sonorous tenor voice are at home with the rapid fire lyrics and angular melodies of Sondheim as he is with Randy Newman's unhurried drawl, coming alive and commanding concert halls and venues great and small.

An entertaining evening
His "Being Alive" tour is about life, covering a range of songs and a few stories that give us insight into our lives and his.
Songs touched on things such as young love (A Tisket, a Tasket), discrimination (You Got to Be Taught), the heartbreak of aging parents, money, fame, big dreams, and hope.
His several stories, humorously told, gave us insight to his history, from his birth through youth and his early Broadway career and how it ties to his youth.
My wife and I are still discussing Patinkin's performance today. We'd gladly go see him perform again. ... Read more

A Renaissance Songsmith
Attending the Patinkin performance in Mesa a few days ago affirmed my perception of this gentleman as an American treasure. His humor, rapport with the audience, thematic medleys, and nonstop enthusiasm made for an evening few artists can muster, much less maintain for so long without an intermission. I hope other reviewers, most apparently attending a different show that preceded this one, since their reviews were posted before the Mesa performance, managed to see Mandy Patinkin and enjoy his art the way the audience did here. ...
