The Full Cast Recording of Lady Day on Broadway

New Standards | Sep 29, 2014

This week on The Headliner, Mike Shobe takes a look at the full cast recording of Lady Day at Emerson's Bar and Grill. The Broadway production stars Audra McDonald in her Tony winning performance as jazz singer Billie Holiday. The show has enjoyed a very successful run and as it draws to a close (it's in it last week) we thought it appropriate to take a listen to the full cast recording.

Get to know the album a little better with our review and take a bit of the show home with you! This week's free download is Audra McDonald's rendition of, "When A Woman Loves A Man." We will be playing selections from the album all week long on The Jonathan Channel, and tune in Saturday at 4PM to hear the show in it's entirety.
