Judi Mark returns to the stage with a musical celebration of four- time Tony Award winner Gwen Verdon and her hit Broadway shows including "Damn Yankees," "Redhead," "Sweet Charity" and "Chicago." Highlighted are the songs Gwen Verdon first introduced to the world such as, "Whatever Lola Wants," "Where Am I Going," "Roxie," and "If My Friends Could See Me Now," among many others.

Judi also spotlights some standards and surprises from Gwen's solo album, "The Girl I Left Home For," and her film and television appearances. The list of songwriters represented is as diverse as Gwen's career, including Cy Coleman and Dorothy Fields, Kander and Ebb, Simon and Garfunkel and Kurt Weill.
