Stage legend returns at age 77 for 6 unforgettable New York concerts

Betty Buckley is still going strong, performing songs from the stage shows she starred in (1776, Gypsy, Carrie, Cats... etc) as well as cuts from her numerous studio albums.

The Tony Award winner, who turns 78 in July, is set to return for a run of nights in New York City this month. Betty will hit the stage to go through her repertoire over three nights at Joe’s Pub in Manhattan - the second year running she has enjoyed a mini residency at the Public Theater on Lafayette Street.

Six intimate nights in New York City with Betty Buckley

Buckley, who gave her first and only performance of the year so far at Walker Recital Hall in Erie back in March, promised “six intimate, must-see performances” in an Instagram post. Two shows per evening from May 15-17, starting at 7 p.m. and 9:30 p.m.

“This limited engagement offers a rare opportunity to experience one of Broadway’s most revered voices up close with her unforgettable live performance. Hailed as the ‘Voice of Broadway,’ Buckley, a master storyteller, combines her consummate acting skills with an extraordinary ensemble of musicians to create a unique and mesmerizing evening of music.”

Joining her on stage at Joe’s Pub will be musicians: Christian Jacob (piano), Jordan Peters (guitar), Tony Marino (bass) and Keita Ogawa (drums). During last year’s engagements at the same venue, Betty’s set included her stage favorites, such as Send in the Clowns, Moon River, Only You Know and I Know as well as covers Bob Dylan (Don’t Think Twice, It’s All Right) and Billy Joel (And So It Goes).
