STANDBY, ME
When Julie Benko first took the stage as the standby for Fanny Brice in Funny Girl, she could not have anticipated that she would take her bow as Broadway’s newest breakout star. Joined by her husband Jason Yeager on piano, Julie reflects on the journey leading to her meteoric rise, sharing songs and behind-the-scenes stories of her days understudying in Les Misérables, Fiddler on the Roof, Spring Awakening, and more. From Broadway classics (“People,” “Matchmaker”) to jazz standards (“Twisted”) to contemporary favorites (“What’s Gonna Happen,” “I Dreamed A Dream,”) Standby, Me offers an evening of spectacular vocals, theatrical lore, and inspiration for all the greatest stars-to-be.

A STAR IS BORN
Julie’s new show explores life after stepping into her most challenging role yet: mom. Accompanied by award-winning jazz pianist (and her baby-daddy/spouse) Jason Yeager, Benko offers mesmerizing new interpretations of standards (“Can’t Help Lovin’ That Man,” “A Sleepin’ Bee”), contemporary favorites (“You’ll Be In My Heart”), musical theater classics (“Children Will Listen”), and more. Join Julie for a transcendent evening as she explores the challenges and joys of this transformational period in her life with her sterling vocals and signature humor. But be warned: You may leave with baby fever!
