Before he was an Emmy-winning sensation on series like "Homeland" and "Chicago Hope", and before he turned heads with his iconic performance in "The Princess Bride", Mandy Patinkin was a show-stopping song-and-dance man on Broadway.
Before he secured our borders in Showtime's “Homeland” or stalked the six-fingered man in Rob Reiner's swashbuckling 1987 romance, “The Princess Bride,” Mandy Patinkin was a big hit on Broadway.
When Mandy Patinkin and Patti LuPone opened “Evita” together on Broadway in 1979, they not only launched their stage careers and captured audiences’ hearts, but they also became lifelong friends.

Already iconic and legendary performers in their own right, their obvious fondness for one another (dating back to their starring together in the original Broadway cast of the musical hit Evita) and their theatrical savvy congeal to produce an electric current of sheer all-out showmanship.

SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- Mandy Patinkin is all over the place. The actor and singer begins an East Coast swing of concert dates this week after two shows in Northern California last week. When he's not here, there and everywhere, Patinkin teams with a long list of music performers and then there's his role as CIA Division Chief Saul Berenson on Showtime's "Homeland."
“I don’t feel intense,’’ Patinkin insists in a telephone interview. “I feel as lost as the next guy, as vulnerable or frightened as the next guy. I can have fun like the next guy.’’ He admits, though, that when he and his wife happened to catch a rerun of his appearance on Charlie Rose’s interview program, he turned to her and asked: “Am I always that intense?’’ She said yes.
You may know the musical theater Mandy Patinkin, who won a Tony as "Evita's" Che Guevara and originated the title role in "Sunday in the Park With George."
They faced off 35 years ago in a landmark musical that would eventually sweep the 1979 Tony and Drama Desk awards: she as the title character, Eva "Evita" Perón, and he as Che, a one-man Greek chorus, loosely based on the Marxist revolutionary Che Guevara, who commented, musically, on her rise and fall with equal parts moral outrage, sarcasm and contempt.
When Mandy Patinkin met Patti LuPone, it was love at first sight—the theatrical kind. Both were in their twenties and starring in the 1979 Broadway premiere of the musical Evita. In 2011, LuPone told New York magazine’s Vulture: “I think both of us realized how scared we were, and Mandy really became my rock, my ballast, my strength, my focus.” The pair have reunited for An Evening With Patti LuPone and Mandy Patinkin, at the Kennedy Center February 18 through 23. Here’s a pre-show cheat sheet.
You really don’t need more on a stage than this: Patti LuPone, her hip slightly cocked, standing next to Mandy Patinkin, his hands gravely folded in front of him, with both of them singing — well, anything.
