Lillias White

LIVE AT THE BEECHMAN
Part of the Legends In Residency Series
Featuring Billy Stritch (Oct 16 + Nov 20)
Featuring Matias Picard (Dec 18)
Fresh off her triumphant run in Hadestown, Tony Award winner Lillias White brings her incomparable voice and storytelling magic to the newly re-glammed Laurie Beechman Theatre for an intimate evening of music. Lillias will dazzle with an eclectic mix of the unexpected and the unforgettable—showtunes, jazz, pop, R&B, blues, and more. Expect fresh takes, a few classics, and the sheer joy that only Lillias can deliver.
Described by The New York Times as a “one-of-a-kind performer who combines the sass of a classic blues mama with the skill of a Broadway star,” Lillias White is one of Broadway’s most dynamic leading ladies. She earned the Tony Award for Best Featured Actress in a Musical for Cy Coleman’s The Life and a second Tony nomination for Fela! Her extensive credits include Dreamgirls, Cats, Carrie, Once on This Island, How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, Chicago, and Hadestown, as well as OBIE and NAACP Award-winning performances in Romance in Hard Timesand Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom. On screen, she won a Daytime Emmy for Sesame Street, voiced the muse Calliope in Disney’s Hercules, and appeared in Pieces of April, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, The Get Down, Russian Doll, and Search Party. She has performed everywhere from Carnegie Hall to the Sydney Opera House, and her 2021 solo album Get Yourself Some Happy! reimagines Motown, standards, Broadway, and jazz through her singular voice.
An evening with Lillias White is more than a concert—it’s a masterclass in song, soul, and storytelling. Don’t miss this rare chance to experience a Broadway legend live and up close at The Laurie Beechman Theatre.
