New Musical 'Lady Day' Opens Off Broadway: REVIEW - Towleroad

New Musical 'Lady Day' Opens Off Broadway: REVIEW - Towleroad | music-all | Scoop.it

Though the production’s buoyant jazz would undoubtedly be more at home in a cabaret—rather than saddled with a cliché-ridden book by director Steven Stahl—when Ms. Bridgewater opens her mouth to sing, it’s tempting to forget about everything else.
