LADY DAY
at Emerson’s Bar & Grill

Book: Lanie Robertson
direction: Jared Shamberger
musical director : LeVar Betts
dramaturge and acting / dialect coach: Tom Flatt

Featuring Anya Randall Nebel as Billie Holiday, Lady Day.

​Synopsis: The time is 1959. The place is a seedy bar in Philadelphia - Emerson’s Bar & Grill.

The audience is about to witness one of Billie Holiday's last performances, given four months before her death.

More than a dozen musical numbers are interlaced with salty, often humorous, reminiscences to project a riveting portrait of the lady and her music.

“The richest jazz singing in town just now is at [this] subtle absorbing dramatic performance”
.... Evokes all the sordidness of a woman entirely shaped by suffering
.... By the end ... one is filled with an unexpected joy!
