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 as an understudy 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.

It’s time for you to “Get Happy” and travel “Over the Rainbow,” no matter the “Stormy Weather” in July, to immerse yourself in an evening celebrating the unique American legend Harold Arlen (b. 1905 – d. 1986), one of the most prolific composers for the stage and screen. Tony Award-winner Ted Sperling is Music Director and host, along with celebrated Broadway artists Mikaela Bennett (The Golden Apple), Aisha de Haas (Disney’s Newsies), Julie Benko (Funny Girl), and Nicholas Ward (The Music Man). True, there’s no place like home … except for the Venetian Theater at Caramoor!
