A concert in Texas on Sept. 14 will reunite the two Tony-winning stars of Broadway's Evita, Patti LuPone and Mandy Patinkin.

Simply titled An Evening with Patti LuPone and Mandy Patinkin, the two actor-singers will share the stage of the Charles W. Eisemann Center in Richardson, TX at 8:30 PM. The evening will feature duets from several musical theatre classics, including tunes from South Pacific, Carousel, Sunday in the Park with George, and, of course, Evita. The award winning actor-singers will also perform individually; LuPone is set to sing Kander and Ebb's "A Quiet Thing."

Although there are no definite plans, there is word that the duo might perform this evening of duets elsewhere.
