From Jan. 14 through Feb. 18, legendary actor and singer Mandy Patinkin is embarking on his brief seven-show “Being Alive” tour with Adam Ben-David on piano all over North America.
Patinkin, known for his Tony-winning turn in “Evita,” Emmy-winning portrayal of Dr. Jeffrey Geiger in “Chicago Hope” and of course, his legendary performance in “The Princess Bride,” will sing classics from the songbooks of Irving Berlin, Stephen Sondheim, Cole Porter, Harry Chapin and more at all shows on the quick run.

The beloved 70-year-old actor/singer/storyteller can’t wait to get on the road either.
“There’s nothing like being on stage with the live audience. It’s the drug of addiction for the performer,” he shared in a recent Instagram video.
He continued, “If you gotta pick one thing and one thing only, I’d pick the live concert venue, hands down.”
So, if you want to see Patinkin belt out American standards and Broadway classics as well as play a few characters onstage, keep reading.

Mandy Patinkin set list
Although we can’t guarantee what Patinkin will perform at the show of your choosing, we do have a recent account of a show of his is at the Eccles Theater in Salt Lake City, UT.
At the gig, the reporter said Patinkin’s one-man show was “filled with musical monologues and multiple characters, brought to life with several props and Patinkin’s unique flair” and “was an unconventional evening of wall-to-wall music with little time for dialogue, with the exception of occasional droll banter with the audience.”
Eclelctic songs performed that evening included Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody,” “Soliloquy” from “Carousel,” “Rock Island” from “The Music Man,” “Being Alive” from “Company,” the Hokey Pokey and “Somewhere Over The Rainbow.”
