Tony, Grammy and Emmy Award-winner Audra McDonald is to make her long awaited West End debut this summer, portraying legendary jazz singer Billie Holiday in Lady Day at Emerson’s Bar & Grill. This critically acclaimed production will play a limited engagement at the West End’s Wyndham’s Theatre from 25 June to 3 September 2016, having broken box office records at the Circle in the Square in New York in a run that netted McDonald her record-setting sixth Tony Award. Written by Lanie Robertson and Directed by Lonny Price, Lady Day at Emerson’s Bar & Grill recounts Holiday’s life story through the songs that made her famous, including God Bless the Child, What a Little Moonlight Can Do, Strange Fruit and Taint Nobody’s Biz-ness.
