Joanne Halev in "Sailing On" at Birdland Theater

Joanne will weave her stories through the lens of brilliant music and lyrics by Lerner and Loewe, Carol Hall, Rodgers & Hart, Amanda McBroom, Francesca Blumenthal, Irving Berlin, Stephen Sondheim, Dillie Keane, and more.  Expect tales of first loves and rites of passage, whooping cough and waterbeds, fate, friendship, and one fabulous farm boy - all shared with keen observations, wry humor, and surprising candor.  Musical Director: Alex Rybeck, Bass: Ray Kilday, Director: Sara Louise Lazarus

New Yorker Joanne Halev received the prestigious Bistro Award in 2020 for her much-lauded debut show, "Like a Perfumed Woman," which premiered in 2019 at Birdland Theater. A “sophisticated songbird,” Joanne was said to “charm, move, and delight audiences.”  Described as “a talented performer with imagination, mindfulness, and innate elegance,” she is thrilled to return to Birdland Theater.
