More About Mercury Theater Chicago Presents Lady Day at Emerson's Bar & Grill
Directed by Artistic Director Christopher Chase Carter and Alexis J. Roston
Written by Lanie Robertson
Starring Alexis J. Roston as Billie Holiday
Stage: Venus Cabaret Theater
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. More than a dozen musical numbers are interlaced with salty, often humorous reminiscences to project a riveting portrait of the lady and her music.
