Lady Day At Emerson's Bar & Grill

LADY DAY AT EMERSON’S BAR & GRILL By Lanie Robertson Sept. 23 – Oct. 30, 2022 | Previews Sept. 20 – 22 In the ArtStage Studio Theatre In this powerful musical tour-de-force, the ArtStage Studio transforms into the gritty Philadelphia bar where legendary Jazz singer Billie Holiday gave one of her final public performances. Set in 1959, the musical chronicles the singer’s heart-wrenching life story and celebrates the music she gave the world. With the help of her piano man, Billie lets her music tell her story and shares her most beloved songs like “Strange Fruit,” “God Bless the Child,” “When a Woman Loves a Man,” and “Ain’t Nobody’s Business if I Do.” A searing portrait of a jazz legend! “Original and riveting!” —London Times
