Lady Day at Emerson’s Bar & Grill PATRON COMMENTS

At ArtStage Theatre

This experience was PHENOMENAL!!!!!! Bravo to Fla. Rep for the content of this show. And the language!!! Took a certain amount of courage on your part (I would think), given the current tension in this country to reference slavery and racism as prominently as Lady Day does. Speaking of Lady Day, Ebony Pullum did a FANTASTIC job of acting and singing. Anger emanated from her, as well it should. It was real and we felt it. And her voice is superb. She actually sounds like Billie Holiday. Garrick Vaughan and the trio did an excellent job and we enjoyed hearing some live blues and jazz. Ansley Valentine did a terrific job of directing this super wonderful show. Bravo to the entire cast, including Bruno as Pepi. No doubt he loves and trusts Ebony very much. Thank you, thank you for this show. Would love to see more of similar venue. And if it does get extended to Nov. 1sr or 2nd, we'll come again with our friends who will be visiting.

Florida Rep never disappoints. Always top quality in every detail. This is the next best thing to bring on Broadway, but quite frankly, I get just as much satisfaction. Keep up the good work.

Good portrayal of Billie Holiday

I loved the performance. I do think she could not be as close to the microphone.

Good portrayal of Billie Holiday

We loved every moment. It was a wonderful experience

Loved the intimacy of the venue!

Leads voice was a tribute to Lady Day. Enjoyed the dynamic between her accompanist and her. Pianist played very well.

Everything about the play and cast was outstanding! I was really looking forward to seeing it and it didn't disappoint. BRAVO!!!!

Loved this Show!!

I did not particularly like the content of the play but thought the lead actress/singer was excellent. She did a very engaging performance.

The performance was really well done. And many thanks to the Alliance of the Arts for the venue. The staff at the performance was wonderful.

Everyone was very helpful at getting us in the right seats.

Alliance for the Arts is a very nice venue

Staff was friendly

Different venue but great performances!

very enjoyable

The actress was amazing. Never missing a beat and on stage the entire 1 1/2 hr. Wonderful

Ebony Pullum made the audience feel the pain of Billie Holiday's life.

Three words What a Show!!!!

Enjoyed the music but was quite depressing. Billie has excellent voice.

Amazing performance by Lady Day. She is a very talented actress. Kudos!

I thought the cast did a superb job. Thoroughly enjoyed the evening.

Loved the music. Lady Day was excellent as were the musicians.

The actress carried the show. She was an excellent singer and actress. Great performance by her and the musicians. Very professional.

While the subject was depressing, lest we forget, we need to be reminded of our history and think of our future! I enjoyed the music and the play was very well acted and overall an excellent production.

Unbelievable! Fabulous! Wonderful. So good. Amazing!

I was not aware her life was this tragic- that MAN! Got her to do all those things, how awful- this is my second time seeing it, I can ‘’feel’’ her pain.. WOW!

A little deep- Love her Intensity- Lovely voice- How can she do this again tonight? – She can sing!

Phenomenal! Loved it. So good!

Lots of concern for our Rep. Theatre. This is ‘’Broadway like’’ ‘’Very Good”

Good Show. Great Entertainer. Phenomenal! Totally Great!! We enjoyed!!
