Lady Day at Emerson’s Bar and Grill - by Lanie Robertson

September 26 - November 2, 2025

The time is 1959. The place is a seedy bar in Philadelphia. The audience is about to witness one of Billie Holiday’s last performances, given four months before her death.

Lady Day at Emerson’s Bar and Grill takes you inside the heart of this unforgettable evening. With iconic songs like “Strange Fruit” and “God Bless the Child,” this intimate cabaret experience brings the soul and struggle of one of jazz’s greatest legends to life.

Through her poignant voice and moving songs, one of the greatest jazz singers of all-time shares her loves and her losses.
