The Broadway Blog has a voucher for two free tickets to see An Evening with Patti LuPone and Mandy Patinkin, a once-in-a-lifetime limited engagement, running through January 13th. Instead of keeping it for ourselves, we’re offering the tickets to our readers and fellow theater lovers. Now you can join the two Broadway legends as they embark on “an entirely original evening: a musical love story, rendered through the songs of Sondheim, Rodgers & Hammerstein, Kander & Ebb, Loesser and more.”

How do you enter for the chance to win? Go to The Broadway Blog’s facebook page and click “like” before November 30. We’ll select a winner at random from that list and announce the results here on the blog. If you’ve already clicked “like”, thank you and you’re eligible, too!

And just to get you more excited, find out what the critics are saying (and our own two cents about the show) by reading the review round-up.

AN EVENING WITH PATTI LUPONE AND MANDY PATINKIN

Reunited for the first time on Broadway since their legendary debuts in Evita, the music theater powerhouses join forces for a “musical love story told entirely through a masterful selection of some of the greatest songs ever written for the stage.”

“I found myself as riveted by the sometimes deliriously odd selection of material as I was thrilled by the vocal luster that both performers have retained after more than three decades on the theater and concert stages.” New York Times

“LuPone and Patinkin have such an easy, comfortable rapport that it’s hard to believe they haven’t shared a show since Evita.” New York Post

“Pleasant and sweet are not words you might ordinarily associate with these two, but their Broadway concert is both.” Variety

“It’s just two hours of good old-fashioned musical theater.” Entertainment Weekly
