Play with Music
Five-time Tony Award-winning actress Audra McDonald returns to Broadway playing Billie Holiday. Set in a bar in Philadelphia, the piece recounts Holiday's life story through the songs that made her famous, as she puts on a show that, unbeknownst to the audience, is one of her last.
The show recreates a night in 1959 when legendary blues singer Billie Holiday performed her classic hits in a smoky nightclub. Includes the songs "God Bless the Child" and "Strange Fruit."
