Broadway icon Patti LuPone launches Spanish tour in Malaga with Antonio Banderas award

Patti LuPone, the celebrated American actress and singer known for her three Tony Awards, two Olivier Awards and two Grammy Awards, brings her acclaimed show to Spanish audiences for the first time.

Legendary performer begins historic Spanish dates

LuPone arrives in Malaga at the invitation of Antonio Banderas to open her Songs from a Hat tour on Thursday, June 11 at Teatro del Soho CaixaBank. This visit serves as clear evidence of the Costa del Sol growing cultural relevance and stature in the arts world. Audiences will experience an intimate evening starting at 8pm, after which Banderas will present her with the prestigious Premio LUX DUCTOR.

Unique format promises spontaneous magic

Songs from a Hat is set to deliver a distinctive concert experience quite unlike traditional recitals. LuPone performs with her musical director Joseph Thalken at the piano. Titles emerge through random draws from a top hat directly on stage, making sure every performance guarantees delivery of fresh surprises.

Audiences can expect highlights from her legendary career spanning more than five decades. Selections include memorable moments from the original Evita production, her acclaimed role as Fantine in Les Misérables in London, powerful turns in Sunset Boulevard and Company, plus hidden gems from the American songbook and personal anecdotes.

Performances continue in Barcelona at Teatre Tivoli on June 12, then Madrid at Nuevo Teatro Alcala on June 15.
