Patinkin, Mandy

The Oxford Companion to American Theatre | 2004 | Copyright

Patinkin, Mandy [né Mandel Bruce Patinkin] (b. 1947), actor and singer. The magnetic performer of intense or flamboyant characters is a nontraditional leading man who can play both experimental and Shakespearean roles with equal panache. He was born in Chicago and educated at the University of Kansas and Juilliard before working several years in regional theatre. Patinkin made his New York debut Off Broadway in 1974 and three years later was noticed on Broadway as the despondent lover Mark in the drama The Shadow Box (1977). But his most successful stage appearances were in musicals, such as the wry commentator Che in Evita (1979), the two artists named George in Sunday in the Park with George (1984), the sullen uncle Archibald Craven in The Secret Garden (1991), and the self‐destructive vaudevillian Burrs in The Wild Party (2000).
