The setting is 1959, and the intimate Vanguard Theater transforms into the Philadelphia bar where legendary jazz songstress Billie Holiday takes the stage to deliver one of her final performances. In this engrossing tour-de-force musical, Billie tells her own story, interlaced with more than a dozen of her most famous songs, including “God Bless the Child,” “Strange Fruit,” “What a Little Moonlight Can Do,” and “Ain’t Nobody’s Business if I Do.” Join us for a front-row seat to experience a night of song, storytelling, and surprises. It’s a must-see. Doors open one hour before curtain for purchase of food and drink. (For 8PM shows, arrive at 7PM for dinner. For 1PM, arrive at 12PM for Brunch. for 7PM curtain, arrive at 6PM.) Come hungry for a Soul Food meal (vegetarian options available)!
Vanguard Theater is at 180 Bloomfield Ave Second Floor, Montclair, NJ.
