Channeling Billie Holiday

This one’s gonna make some of my peeps smile.

Five-time Tony winner Audra McDonald is back on Broadway.

The Meryl Streep of the Great White Way – I can call her that, right? – is playing Billie Holiday in her new one-woman show Lady Day at Emerson’s Bar & Grill (she has been doing previews of the show since March 25, actually).

Plan on being near Broadway starting on April 13 because that is when the show will officially open.

And plan on betting big on McDonald at the next Tonys. You know it’s pretty much in the bag.
