Patti LuPone recently released her latest CD "Matters of the Heart" (LayZLay Records/Varese Sarabande), named one of the best recordings of 1999 by both the Times of London and Time Out/NY, which was based on her new one-woman show which she performed last year at the Sydney Festival in Australia and London's Donmar Warehouse Theatre, and which she will tour in nationally this year. This spring, Miss LuPone made her debut with the New York Philharmonic as Mrs. Lovett opposite George Hearn's Sweeney Todd in a concert production of the Stephen Sondheim musical conducted by Andrew Litton and this past fall made her solo concert debut at Carnegie Hall in a one night benefit for GMHC.

For that performance, as well as the reprise of her performance in the London production of "The Cradle Will Rock," she won an Olivier Award for Best Actress in a Musical. Miss LuPone also created the role of Norma Desmond in "Sunset Boulevard" (1994 Olivier nomination, Best Actress in a Musical).
