About This Production

“I can’t give you anything but love”

In this powerful musical production, Billie Holiday sings her most famous songs and reminisces about the great triumphs and losses of her life. The time is 1959. The place is a seedy bar in Philadelphia. The audience is about to witness one of Billie’s last performances. With the help of her piano man, Jimmy Powers, she lets music tell her story, sharing soulful, heart-wrenching, and bawdy songs from her memorable canon including: “Strange Fruit,” “God Bless the Child,” “When a Woman Loves a Man,” and “T’Ain’t Nobody’s Business If I Do.”

LADY DAY AT EMERSON’S BAR AND GRILL is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals. www.concordtheatricals.com
