Two-time Tony Award winner Patti LuPone wowed the internet with her performance of “Don’t Cry for Me Argentina” at the Grammy Awards on Sunday night. And now she’s coming to the Steppenwolf Theatre Company stage.
Watch it, clutch your wig, get your entire life, and don't you dare cry, Argentina.@ELLEmagazine https://t.co/lT1gdNcogm

LuPone will be the latest Broadway diva to appear at Steppenwolf with gadfly personality (and accompanist extraordinaire) Seth Rudetsky, taking the stage on March 5. The concert and conversation, presented as part of Steppenwolf’s LookOut performance series, follow Rudetsky’s one-night appearances with Audra McDonald last spring and Chita Rivera in December.
LuPone, who won Tonys for her performances in Evita and Gypsy, last appeared in Chicago in 2016 in the Goodman Theatre’s pre-Broadway engagement of War Paint, for which she picked up another Tony nomination last year.
LuPone and Rudetsky will do two shows at Steppenwolf, at 6:30 and 9pm. Tickets ($79–$150) go on sale Tuesday, February 6 at 11am.
