The legendary Patti LuPone, after being embroiled in a controversy with Actor's Equity, is going back on her very own tour this year.
Titled "Don't Monkey With Broadway," the Tony legend is set to embark on a 14-date tour across North America starting February up until May this year.
According to Broadway World, she will be performing Broadway show tunes that have become classics throughout the years. It was reported that she would be performing music from the following creators: Cole Porter, Irving Berlin, Leonard Bernstein, Jule Styne, Stephen Schwartz, Charles Strous, Richard Rogers, and even Stephen Sondheim.
LuPone is said to be singing her musical journey - how her life-long love affair with theatre began and her woes about what the "Great White Way" is becoming nowadays.
Directed by Joseph Thalken, LuPone's "Don't Monkey With Broadway," will start in Orem, Utah, in February and will cap off at Long Center in Austin, Texas, in May.

Last year, LuPone, in a controversial move, publicly submitted her resignation from the Actor's Equity, which meant she could not perform on almost all Broadway productions anymore.
"I just gave up my equity card, but that doesn't mean that I can't perform on-stage. It's 50 years that I've been a member of Actors Equity, and I think I need a break from the stage," LuPone said in a Variety interview.
