Live Tweet With Us for Lady Day Starring Audra McDonald

HBO is getting ready to remind us why Audra McDonald is a six-time Tony Award-winning, history-making actress. If you weren’t able to make it to NYC (or can’t make it to London this summer) for her captivating performance as Billie Holiday in Lady Day at Emerson’s Bar & Grill, HBO is doing the whole world a favor by premiering it Saturday night. Filmed before a live audience at Cafe Brasil in New Orleans, the special features McDonald in her legendary, tour de force performance as the jazz icon.
