About the Artist

FREE EVENT FOR THE COMMUNITY! PLEASE CALL THE BOX OFFICE AT 203.438.5795 TO RESERVE YOUR SEAT.

The bonus content for LADY SINGS THE BLUES, sponsored by People’s United Bank, will consist of an interview with author and Adjunct Senior Research Scholar at Columbia University, John Szwed, led by entertainment reporter Cheryl Washington. Dr. Szwed is the Author of “Billie Holiday: The Musician and The Myth,” was Professor of Music and Jazz Studies, Editor-in-Chief of the website JazzStudiesOnline.org, and Director of the Center for Jazz Studies from 2008-2014. The bonus content can be seen the night of the film following the screening in the theater or online on the Ridgefield Playhouse YouTube channel.

Celebrating 50 years, the essence of Billie Holiday, one of America’s most loved and memorable blues singers, was captured brilliantly in a tour-de-force debut performance by singer Diana Ross. Filled with the greatest songs of the incomparable “Lady Day,” this stunning film biography received five Academy Award® nominations, including Diana Ross for “Best Actress.” Starring opposite Ross are Billy Dee Williams and Richard Pryor.
