Event
Lady Day at Emerson's Bar and Grill
A seedy bar, Philadelphia, 1959. When the customers leave and the doors are locked, the lights go down and the show really starts. Witness one of last performances of the world's greatest chanteuse, Miss Billie Holiday, intimately given four months before the passing of this tragic musical superstar. With her stellar jazz trio, she revisits her life, loves and losses in more than a dozen quintessential, thrilling and gut-wrenching numbers. It's a salty, sensual, often humorous, and always riveting portrait of the legendary lady and her legacy of music.
For this event we will offer a cash bar in the gallery before the show and during intermission.
"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. Robertson's play is a spare, shrewdly constructed piece. " N.Y. Times.
