DATEBOOK PICK<\/p>\n
Mandy Patinkin<\/a> has built a career not just as an actor and a singer, but as a storyteller.<\/p>\n His latest live show, “Mandy Patinkin in Concert: Jukebox,” reflects that sensibility, which offers an intimate evening of song and personal reflection from the Tony and Emmy award winner.<\/p>\n When he comes to the Henry J. Kaiser Center for the Arts in Oakland on Thursday, Feb. 5, Patinkin will be accompanied on the piano by Adam Ben-David (“The Book of Mormon<\/a>,” “Jersey Boys,” “Wicked”), a longtime collaborator<\/a> who also is an arranger, music director and conductor.<\/p>\n Patinkin won a Tony in his Broadway debut as Che in Andrew Lloyd Webber’s “Evita” in 1980 and has since been a mainstay on the stage, in film (including 1980s classics “The Princess Bride<\/a>” and “Yentl”) and on television (“Chicago Hope,” “Criminal Minds”).<\/p>\n He has also performed solo concerts as far back as 1989. For “Jukebox,” expect classic musical numbers curated by Patinkin himself.<\/p>\n More Information<\/p>\n “Mandy Patinkin in Concert: Jukebox”: 8 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 5. $79-$149. Henry J.
