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 Broadways 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 Misrables, Fiddler on the Roof, Spring Awakening, and more. From Broadway classics (People, Matchmaker) to jazz standards (Twisted) to contemporary favorites (Whats 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.
