“94, Of Course There’s More!”
Known for her powerhouse delivery, electric stage presence and chatty rapport with the audience, Marilyn Maye, Manhattan’s Queen of Cabaret, most recently sold out four nights at Feinstein’s 54 Below as she does everywhere she goes. Booked to join Bay Street in 2020 (at just 92 at the time), audiences will be amazed at her ability to thrill and delight. You’ll claim she must be 49, not 94.
Monday, August 8, at 8 p.m.
“The Lillias White Effect”
In her latest show, Lillias White pulls back the show curtain to tell humorous, poignant and inspiring stories from both her personal and show business life that she has never shared before, onstage or off. The concert will interweave songs that are career milestones for White and songs from the soundtrack of her life. Audiences can expect to hear the music of Frank Loesser, Stephen Sondheim, Ann Hampton Callaway, Jerry Herman, Cy Coleman and others.
Monday, August 15, at 8 p.m.
“An Evening with Ali Stroker”
Ali Stroker won the Tony Award for Best Featured Actress in a Musical for her role as Ado Annie in a revival of “Oklahoma!” Before that, she made history as the first actor in a wheelchair to appear on Broadway. She’ll perform crowd favorites as well as some unexpected songs while telling stories from her life and talking about her personal motto, “turn your limitations into opportunities.”
Monday, August 22, at 7 p.m.
“The Great American Mousical” directed by Julie Andrews with Live Talkback
Below the bright lights of Broadway, in the depths of the historic Sovereign Theatre, an acting troupe of mice rehearse their new musical. When the theater is threatened by demolition and their diva Adelaide disappears, it will take all paws on deck to fulfill the time-honored tradition: the show must go on! Filled with singing, dancing, and show biz lore, “The Great American Mousical” is a sharp and witty tribute to life in the theater that celebrates the two most glorious words in the English language: musical comedy.
The one-night-only presentation of “The Great American Mousical” includes a talkback with director Julie Andrews and Bay Street co-founder Emma Walton Hamilton, and other members of the creative team. Tickets start at $250 and include one drink, $500 tickets include a VIP gift bag. All proceeds will support Bay Street Theater’s development of new works and training of future artists-to-be.
Monday, August 29, at 8 p.m.
