Who here hasnt seen the movie The Princess Bride? Probably not many of you its a widely-loved classic for good reason, and possibly the most oft-quoted movie since Monty Python and the Holy Grail. And the most-quoted of the many quotes from the movie is Inigo Montoyas ritualistic repetition: Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.
Todays post is not actually about The Princess Bride (though everyone is welcome to go watch the movie once theyre done reading this post), but is about Inigo Montoya or rather the actor who played him, Mandy Patinkin. Why? Because Mandy Patinkin is coming to nearby Tacoma this month for an evening concert performance.
Thats right; it turns out that the man behind Inigo Montoya, known for movies like Yentl and Dick Tracy and for television shows like Chicago Hope and Homeland, is also a Tony-winning Broadway legend. Heres the description of the performer and his upcoming event from the event website:
Mandy Patinkin in Concert presents the acclaimed actor/singer/storyteller in his most electrifying role: concert performer. "Mandy Patinkin is in the business of showstopping," raves The New Yorker, and that's exactly what he does in this powerful, passionate evening of popular song. From Irving Berlin to Stephen Sondheim, from Cole Porter to Harry Chapin, Mandy Patinkin takes you on a dazzling musical journey you'll never forget. ...revered as a bonafide Broadway legend for the roles he created in Evita, The Secret Garden and Sunday in the Park with George now presenting a dazzling evening of story and song.
Mandy Patinkin in Concert is coming up on Friday, June 24th at 7:30 pm. It will take place at the Broadway Center for the Performing Arts in Tacoma, about half an hour from Canyon Park apartments in Puyallup. Tickets range in price from $39 to $110.
