Mandy Patinkin begins his Diaries 2018 tour with a sold-out, ten-performance residency presented by New York Theatre Workshop at The Connelly Theater in New York City's East Village, starting this Wednesday, October 10, and continuing through October 28. Joined by pianist Adam Ben David, he will perform music from Diary: January 27, 2018 and Diary: April/May 2018, the first two in a series of musical installments with pianist/producer Thomas Bartlett, both released on Nonesuch earlier this year.

Patinkin is partnering with TodayTix to offer a limited number of tickets for the New York shows via a digital day-of lottery, available here.

“Singing onstage is one of the great joys of my life,” says Patinkin, “so I'm back on the boards.” He will bring the Diaries 2018 tour to California, Hawaii, and Australia in November. See below for details, or visit nonesuch.com/on-tour.

Mandy Patinkin spoke with the New York Times about his Diary recordings and tour. He has found a "new life partner in music," he tells the Times of working with producer/pianist Thomas Bartlett. You can read what else he had to say at nytimes.com.
