DEC 3 @ TEMPLE BETH KODESH, BOYNTON BEACH FL
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.

WITH A LITTLE BIT OF LOX:
BROADWAY'S BASHERT
APRIL 16-18, 2027
DELRAY BEACH, FL
Broadway's bashert Julie Benko reflects on how portraying a surprising number of Jewish leading ladies on the Great White Way—including in Funny Girl, Ragtime, Harmony, and Fiddler on the Roof—turned her into an unexpected representative for Jewish women in the musical theatre community, and in the process, reshaped her own Jewish identity. Backed by her husband, pianist and composer Jason Yeager, Benko weaves personal storytelling with songs from musicals ("I'm the Greatest Star," "Tomorrow," "If I Were A Bell"), original music ("One Step Closer"), and selections sung in Yiddish and Hebrew ("Tumbalalaika") to craft an intimate, soulful, funny, and celebratory evening. With A Little Bit of Lox offers a rich exploration of identity, artistry, and the many beautiful ways there are to be Jewish, both onstage and off.
