""London brings remarkable and statuesque reality as she makes Holiday’s rich music joyously alive. Not only is London quite an actor as she tells Holiday’s troubled life eloquently, but she is a remarkable songstress who brings 15 of Holiday’s signature tunes to vibrant life. She not only sings superbly but she makes each song’s story distinct. Director Chanel Bragg guides the production to allow the talent to create the characters and the set helps take the audience back in time." -Chris Curcio, Curtain Up Phoenix (click here to read the complete review)
""The intimate setting of Judith Hardes Theatre at Phoenix Theatre Company perfectly hosts LADY DAY AT EMERSON’S BAR & GRILL, one act of pure WOW! This flawless production captivates the audience as Yolanda London channels Billie Holiday, mesmerizing the house as Lady Day shares the highlights and tragedies of her life, family, travels, and career. The Phoenix audience is quickly transported to Emerson’s Bar and Grill in late 1950s Philadelphia." - Suzanne Whitaker, Broadway World (click here to read the complete review)
