About Lady Day
It's 1959 in a bar in South Philadelphia for one of Billie Holiday's final performances before her untimely death. At an intimate evening with Billie and her pianist, Holiday's most famous songs are interlaced with reminiscences from her life, told with her unique, salty humor. Featuring "What a Little Moonlight Can Do" and "Strange Fruit."
"We are delighted to produce this classic and beautiful 40s jazz era show with such a talented New Rep Lady Day, Lydia "LovelySinger" Harrell. We are excited to show audiences our unique immersive experience through the artistic vision of direction and set design with the use of on-stage seating and more." Shares New Rep Artistic Director, Michael J. Bobbitt.
