Far Away Places, directed by Scott Wittman and written by Jeffrey Richman, features "a little bit of Gypsy in My Soul, which has never been done in New York, and one song from Patti LuPone on Broadway, 'Come to the Supermarket in Old Peking,' and the rest is brand-new," the award-winning actress told Playbill.com. Among the new songs are "Pirate Jenny," "Traveling Light," "Black Market" and the title tune.

This series will continue with releases from other current and forthcoming 54 Below artists representing the top names on Broadway.

LuPone is also among headliners on the 2013 Playbill Broadway On the High Seas Cruise in summer 2013.
