How to buy safely

Start at Mandy’s official “Events” page, then click through to the venue. This reduces fake ticket risk.
Prefer Ticketmaster or the venue’s own checkout. Compare fees before you commit.
If a date is “low inventory,” watch for late seat releases the week of show. Many halls free holds close to curtain. (General venue practice, see examples above.)

Where to watch him on screen

Brilliant Minds, Season 2 (2025). Patinkin played a key role in a family arc. The show streams on Peacock in the U.S. per NBC and People coverage.
Homeland (2011–2020). His turn as Saul Berenson is a modern classic. Hulu lists the series page, and Hulu carries Paramount+ with Showtime content in-app in the U.S. Availability can vary by region.

If you are new, watch The Princess Bride for his breakout film moment, then sample Homeland to see his dramatic control. Britannica’s profile is a good quick read on the years between.

Quick background for new fans

Stage: Tony for Evita in 1980, later Broadway work like Sunday in the Park with George.

Simple checklist before you go

Step	Do this	Tip
1	Verify the venue’s seating map	Many shows are reserved seating with tiered prices
2	Check age and bag rules	Performing arts centers often limit bag size
3	Plan parking or transit	Some venues are cashless for parking
4	Arrive 30 minutes early	Pre-show lines can be long at will call
5	Keep your confirmation email handy	Staff may scan from phone or printout

Starter playlist for “Jukebox” vibes

“Being Alive” from Company
“Somewhere” from West Side Story
“Ya Got Trouble” from The Music Man
“Hallelujah” by Leonard Cohen
“Brother Can You Spare a Dime”

He often rotates songs, so treat this as a mood guide, not a fixed setlist. The venues describe the show as a hand-picked mix with stories.

Why it matters

Patinkin is that rare artist who can sell a punchline and a prayer in the same song. The 2026 run gives fans a close view of his voice and his storytelling. If you have only seen him on Homeland, the concert shows a looser, warmer side. Tickets are still findable for many cities, but theaters this size can sell out fast near show week. Check official links first.
