Lady Day at Emerson's Bar & Grill at International City Theatre

A celebration of life and art fully lived. “Music is light to me.” – Billie Holiday
The time is 1959. The place is a seedy bar in Philadelphia. 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. Lean back, absorb the music and enjoy the ride.
