"I so adore working with Mandy," said Patti LuPone. "He's always been a risk taker, a quality I love best in an actor. I treasure our partnership which began in Evita and which today is stronger than ever. And that's rare."

Mandy Patinkin said "To be onstage with Patti is as good as it gets for me. When I look into her eyes, I'm 30 years younger instantly. We're right back in time and I'm just in heaven. I'm only sad when the evening's over."
