The Triad, in Association with Lee Summers Proudly Presents Drama Desk, Outer Critics Circle and TONY Award-winner Lillias White in The Early Bird Birthday Bash!!! On Monday, July 9th at 8pm Lillias White returns to The Triad in an evening that will feature Timothy Graphenreed on piano, Gary Haase on bass and Buddy Williams on drums .
Ms. White recently completed a successful run of August Wilson's Gem of the Ocean at The Rubicon Theatre in Ventura, California and managed to squeeze in a sold out performance at The Catalina Bar & Grill before flying back to her beloved New York State. Lillias has been seen and heard in many venues worldwide from Sydney, Australia to Singapore to Lagos, Nigeria.
Lillias White's many Broadway credits include Fela!, for which she garnered a TONY nomination, Cats, How to Succeed..., Chicago, Dreamgirls, Once on this Island, Barnum and The Life, for which she earned the prestigious quadruple crown - The Friends of New York Theatre, Drama Desk, Outer Critics Circle and TONY Awards for her portrayal of "Sonja," the hooker with the heart of gold!
Lillias has been seen on the big screen with Katie Holmes in Pieces of April, with Michael Keaton in Game Six and her distinctive vocals are familiar to children of all ages from the Disney animated feature Herculs. On TV, you've certainly seen her on "Law & Order,"or maybe on the PBS-TV presentation of "South Pacific" as Bloody Mary as well as on "Sesame Street" (EMMY Award). Off-Broadway credits include Romance in Hard Times at The Public Theatre (OBIE Award), Crowns (AUDELCO Award), Dinah Was, The Princess and the Blackeyed Pea, Nativity and The Best is Yet to Come, at 59E59 St Theatre (Drama Desk).
Lillias loves to "Come to the Cabaret" and has performed in venues like Joe's Pub, The Venetian Room, Feinstein's, Jazz @ Lincoln Center and the World Famous Apollo Theatre in Harlem.

Pick of the week
Tweet this article !
This week, our Cabaret Pick is Elizabeth Sullivan on Sunday. She’s a lady who celebrates her birthday during this week, too (May 22). She’s a graceful, dignified, full-of-heart performer and a thoughtful, artful songwriter who does not shy away from real feelings. Whenever I see her perform, it’s a tenderly tendered mix of smile-inducers and tear duct activation.
