Tickets Now on Sale for Off-Broadway Billie Holiday Musical Lady Day, Starring Dee Dee Bridgewater

Tickets are now available for the off-Broadway production of Lady Day, a bio play with music starring Tony and Grammy winner Dee Dee Bridgewater as legendary jazz singer Billie Holiday. The show begins performances September 19 at the Little Shubert Theatre, with opening set for October 3.

Written and directed by Stephen Stahl and featuring a score from Holiday’s catalogue of hit songs, Lady Day tells the inspired story of Holiday’s final comeback performance as it brings the essence and spirit of the late singer-songwriter to the stage. Joining Bridgewater on the stage are Wicked alum David Ayers and newcomer Rafael Poueriet, as well as a quartet of musicians comprised of bassist Jim Cammack, sax player Ken Hitchcock, drummer Jerome Jennings and pianist Bill Jolly.

Lady Day features 25 Holiday standards, including “Good Morning Heartache,” “Don’t Explain,” “A Foggy Day (In London Town),” “Strange Fruit,” “My Man,” “God Bless the Child,” “Mean to Me” and “Them There Eyes.” The show has been produced at the Theatre de Boulogne-Billancourt and the Theatre du Gymnase Marie Bell in Paris, as well as the Donmar Warehouse and the Piccadilly Theatre in London, where Bridgewater earned an Olivier nomination for Best Actress.
