Fans of five-time Tony Award winner Audra McDonald can now catch her on Broadway for a limited time in the new music-themed play LADY DAY AT EMERSON'S BAR & GRILL and ticket buyers who purchase tickets at the box office today will receive a copy of the forthcoming cast recording in honor of Billie Holiday's birthday.

The rules are as follows: "The box office of Circle in the Square (235 West 50th Street, between Broadway and 8th Avenue) will open for business at 10:00 a.m. on April 7, 2014. In celebration of Billie Holiday's 99th birthday, theatergoers who purchase full price tickets today at the Circle in the Square box office for Lady Day on Broadway will be automatically signed up to receive a free copy of the cast recording of "Lady Day at Emerson's Bar and Grill" when it is released. Tickets buyers that day will be among the first to receive the CD when it is released. Label and release date information will be announced at a later date."

The official description of LADY DAY AT EMERSON'S BAR & GRILL is as such: "Lady Day at Emerson's Bar & Grill recounts Holiday's life story through the songs that made her famous. 1959, in a small, intimate bar in Philadelphia, Holiday puts on a show that unbeknownst to the audience, will leave them witnesses to one of the last performances of her lifetime. Through her poignant voice and moving songs, one of the greatest jazz singers of all-time shares her loves and her losses. Among the songs that will be performed: "God Bless the Child," "What a Little Moonlight Can Do," "Strange Fruit" and "Taint Nobody's Biz-ness"."
