Two-Time Tony Award Winner and Broadway Legend in Rare Filmed Concert

New York, NY -- (SBWire) -- 12/11/2012 --Are there songs you’ve always wanted to hear Broadway legend Patti LuPone sing? As well as hear the stories behind those songs and the shows they’re from? Chances are that you’ll see and hear them in “An Evening With Patti LuPone,” a rare, live concert by the two-time Tony Award winner with Seth Rudetsky on piano. Filmed over the course of four sold-out shows this summer at the Art House in Provincetown, MA, the concert and candid interview sessions with Mr. Rudetsky have resulted in this one-of-a-kind 104-minute concert - comprised of Seth’s favorite moments from all four performances - which Ms. LuPone agreed to have made available exclusively on Seth TV.

“I've always been OBSESSED with Patti and this concert is a dream come true,” exclaims Rudetsky. “She sang so many of her classic songs...in the original keys! Her voice is flawless.”

“I did not expect to have as much fun as I did,” notes Ms. LuPone. “It made me feel like I was 20 again, or whatever age I was when I played those parts. Seth has an energy which is unstoppable and he is a scholar in the field of musical theater with a great sense of humor.”

About Seth TV
Broadway favorite Seth Rudetsky has taken another entertainment leap. The SiriusXM radio host, novelist, Broadway actor/pianist, Playbill columnist, Grammy nominee, award-winning comic, Emmy-nominated writer and long-time Actors Fund and Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS supporter added "television mogul" to that long list this summer when Seth TV, his new web-based entertainment network, premiered. Whether behind the piano or the microphone, he’s the man at the center of all things Broadway, with the most enviable 'Rolodex' in the industry, and the recognized national thought-leader for the impact of musical theater in our lives. Since the premiere, SethTV has featured stars like Gavin Creel, Megan Hilty, Patrick Wilson, Martin Short, Laura Osnes, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Patti LuPone, Ana Gasteyer, and many others singing and saying things only Seth could get them to do! Entertainment Weekly named Seth TV to its “Must List” immediately upon launch in July. Metrosource described it this way in its Oct/Nov 2012 ‘Best of the Web’ issue:

“Considering the variety of its offerings, Seth TV is like a network, which consists of several different kinds of shows. Among them, you’ll find Rudetsky cracking wise with theater celebs in his signature interview series Seth’s Broadway Chatterbox; his laugh-so-hard-it-hurts “deconstructions” of memorable moments in music history; and exclusive celebrity concerts and other performances you can only find on his website. Plus he’s created his very own reality series (aptly called Seth’s Reality), which takes viewers behind the scenes of Rudetsky’s funny, busy, tuneful life. Some content is available to preview for free, but the rest can be accessed for a small monthly subscription fee (a portion of which goes to charity). Seth Rudetsky is honestly one of the funniest people we’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting, and if you like theater (and laughing), you’re definitely going to want to go see Rudetsky do his thing at sethtv.com.“

Seth Rudetsky is the afternoon host on Sirius/XM Satellite Radio's “On Broadway” as well as the host of “Seth Speaks” on Sirius/XM Stars.
