About This Show
For the first time, Broadway star and Tony Award winner, Lillias White will appear on the Crazy Coqs stage with not one, but two of her most popular shows. She will be accompanied by the internationally celebrated artist Billy Stritch on piano, performing these very different shows, which will alternate from night-to-night. This limited engagement featuring these two prominent American artists and some of the greatest music written for Broadway and the Golden Age of popular music, promises to be an infectious toe tapper and a welcomed stroll down a musical memory lane.
