Poster for Billie Holiday with an all-star lineup at Loew's Sheridan in NYC, 1957

The Loew's Sheridan, gone since 1969 and leaving no terrestrial trace, but whose likeness we can see in this painting by Edward Hopper from 1937:

From the Village Voice review—the paper having co-produced the show—the following Monday:

Voice Concert Sell-Out

The Village Voice and Jean Shepherd proved last Saturday night that one of the liveliest of the “lively arts” has massive appeal in Greenwich Village. “Jazz music,” said Monday’s New York Times, “successfully invaded new territory at midnight Saturday when 2500 packed Loew’s Sheridan Theatre in Greenwich Village to hear a program headed by Billie Holiday and the Modern Jazz Quartet.”

Interest in the show was so intense that fully one hour before curtain-time the entire square block on which the Sheridan is located was encircled four-deep by people waiting to get in. Jazz-lovers who were admonished by patrolmen to get to the end of the line were thrown into confusion trying to find the end of a line that had no end. The entire house was sold out, with more than 500 people being turned away.

The evening went off smoothly before an enthusiastic audience. The only suspense was involved in getting jazz singer Billie Holiday, who was performing in a Philadelphia club until 12:30 a.m., back to New York in sufficient time to sing on the stage of the Sheridan. The Voice driver made it, and she was able to close the show with some 10 songs, including her classic “Don’t Explain.”

"I saw Billie Holiday at the Loew’s Sheridan: one of the very, very last performances. Her voice was ruined, and she was glorious."-

-Edward Albee

"It is Billie Holiday who was, and still remains, the greatest single musical influence on me."

--Frank Sinatra

"John Coltrane was an addict; Billie Holiday was an addict; Eugene O'Neill was an addict. What would America be without addicts and post-addicts who make such grand contributions to our society?"

--Cornel West

"Probably to me the greatest singer, female voice, is Billie Holiday. And one of the most moving for me, I don't know why - maybe it's nostalgia, maybe because my life is one of constant partying, whatever."

--Wole Soyinka

"And if Mozart is for Sundays, who do you listen to the rest of the week?" "Louis Armstrong on Mondays, Frank Sinatra on Wednesdays. And Glenn Miller on Fridays, unless it's raining. If it's raining, it's always Billie Holiday." "What about Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday?" I asked. "Those days are quiet. Unless it's raining."

--Clare Vanderpool

Gilbert Millstein of The New York Times, who was the announcer at Holiday's 1956 Carnegie Hall concerts and wrote parts of the sleeve notes for the album "The Essential Billie Holiday,", described her death in these sleeve notes, dated 1961:

"Billie Holiday died in Metropolitan Hospital, New York, on Friday, July 17, 1959, in the bed in which she had been arrested for illegal possession of narcotics a little more than a month before, as she lay mortally ill; in the room from which a police guard had been removed – by court order – only a few hours before her death. She had been strikingly beautiful, but her talent was wasted. The worms of every kind of excess – drugs were only one – had eaten her. The likelihood exists that among the last thoughts of this cynical, sentimental, profane, generous and greatly talented woman of 44 was the belief that she was to be arraigned the following morning. She would have been, eventually, although possibly not that quickly. In any case, she removed herself finally from the jurisdiction of any court here below."

Billie Holiday, born April 7, 1915.

The Loew’s Sheridan Theater at West 12th Street and Seventh Avenue in Greenwich Village, 1969.  Built in 1921, the movie palace was struggling to sell tickets by this time, its balcony being sealed off and then the theater finally being sold & demolished later in the year.  Although the theater is gone, it was immortalized by Edward Hopper in his 1937 painting The Sheridan Theater which is on display at the Newark Museum.  The property on which the theater stood is now home to the NYC AIDS Memorial, which honors the more than 100,000 New Yorkers who have died from the disease.
