Birdie Blue had a starry opening night on June 23. The play, which stars
Law & Order's S. Epatha Merkerson as the tough, funny and big-hearted Birdie Blue, is a lyrical and jazzy reflection on love, marriage and the passage of time. Take a look at the slew of celebs who greeted the cast (rounded out by Billy Porter and Charles Weldon), the playwright and, director Seret Scott at the opening night party at Spanky's.
