Mandy Patinkin: A Special Breed of Singer

Got a press release for the Brooklyn Center for the Performing Arts 2006-07 season, and my eye immediately went to the March 15, 2008 event: "Mandy Patinkin in Concert."

It included this description: "He belongs to a special breed of singer who doesn't merely dramatize songs — he incorporates them into his very being."

That's putting it mildly. Still, I'm impressed that the top ticket is only $40, and that he's performing in a place as far from bright lights of Broadway as Midwood, Brooklyn. Given his TV star status, I'd think he could command more.
