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!
"Yeager's piano artistry framed Benko’s gorgeous vocals in gold.... Admittedly, listening to new mothers expound on their offspring can be tedious, but this show was a delight."

"Infinitely charming... a true standout on the cabaret scene."

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.
JULIE BENKO & EUPHONIC GUMBO
Julie Benko’s Euphonic Gumbo celebrates New Orleans music ranging from early jazz to Cajun and more. Joined by a six-piece band (led by her musical director and spouse Jason Yeager), she sings in English, French, Spanish, and Yiddish to honor the musical legacy of the Crescent City. Now an annual tradition to celebrate Mardi Gras at Birdland! Julie is also happy to march her second-line band out at other times of the year!
JULIE SINGS JULE (STYNE)
Amidst one of Broadway’s most inspiring stories of the past decade, Jule Styne’s music transformed Julie Benko into “the greatest star.” Now, she bids goodbye to the Broadway production of Funny Girl with a celebration of the legendary composer’s remarkable repertoire. Alongside her jazz-pianist husband Jason Yeager, Julie brings her trademark charm, comedic timing, and sterling vocals to her namesake’s songbook, performing such well-loved classics as “Just In Time,” “The Party’s Over,” “Make Someone Happy,” "Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend," "Time After Time," “People,” and “Don’t Rain On My Parade,” as well as lesser-known gems from forgotten works. With fascinating stories of Styne’s life and reminiscences of how he has unknowingly shaped hers, Julie Sings Jule Styne is a love letter to the bygone days of Broadway from its newest breakout star.
