LADY DAY
at Emerson’s Bar & Grill
Book: Lanie Robertson
direction: Jared Shamberger
musical director : LeVar Betts
dramaturge and acting / dialect coach: Tom Flatt
Featuring Anya Randall Nebel as Billie Holiday
Synopsis: The time is 1959. The place is a seedy bar in Philadelphia - Emerson’s Bar & Grill. The audience is about to witness one of Billie Holiday's last performances, given four months before her death. More than a dozen musical numbers are interlaced with salty, often humorous, reminiscences to project a riveting portrait of the lady and her music.
“The richest jazz singing in town just now is at [this] subtle absorbing dramatic performance”
.... Evokes all the sordidness of a woman entirely shaped by suffering
.... By the end ... one is filled with an unexpected joy!
What the Reviewers are saying:
"Nebel knows no bounds when it comes to versatility. A remarkable performer with exacting stage presence, lively grit in her soul as well as her song, Anya Randall Nebel does Lady Day a great justice with this sensational performance." (Theatre Bloom)
"If you’re looking for an exceptional evening of theatre that will carry you off to another time and place, come see this lady sing the blues in Lady Day at Emerson’s Bar and Grill. Anya Randall Nebel delivers one of the best performances you will see on the stage - anytime and anywhere. Don't miss it!" Ilene Chalmers, DCMetroTheaterArts
