Legendary '70s Star, 77, Still Performs With Her Band, Announces New Concert
Legendary star of stage and screen is still delighting audiences even at 77 years young.
On May 11, she announced the dates and location for her first performance engagement of summer 2025.
"The first of @blbuckley's summer engagements begins this week at @joespub in NYC! On May 15, 16 & 17, Ms. Buckley and her band share a highly anticipated song list with eager audiences in six fabulous shows (7:00 & 9:30 nightly). Hope to see everyone there!🤗❤️. There's still time to pick up a ticket at… publictheater.org."
In another post, the description of the concerts says that the Tony-winning star will perform in "six intimate, must-see performances."
"This limited engagement offers a rare opportunity to experience one of Broadway's most revered voices up close with her unforgettable live performance. Hailed as the 'Voice of Broadway,' Buckley, a master storyteller, combines her consummate acting skills with an extraordinary ensemble of musicians to create a unique and mesmerizing evening of music."
It also details who her band members are: music director Christian Jacob, Tony Marino on bass, Keita Ogawa on drums and Jordan Peters on guitar.
Buckley is perhaps best known for her stage work. She won a Tony for originating the role of Grizabella in the original Broadway staging of Cats in 1983. She was also one of the stars to play Norma Desmond in Sunset Boulevard in the mid-1990s, and she was nominated for her second Tony in 1998 for Triumph of Love. She is also on the original Broadway cast recording of 1776, in which she played Martha Jefferson, and The Mystery of Edwin Drood, in which she played Miss Alice Nutting.
But TV fans know her from the hit 1970s sitcom Eight is Enough where she played a widowed schoolteacher who married Tom (Dick Van Patten) after his wife died.
In recent years, Buckley has been starring as Trial Division Chief Lorraine Maxwell on Law & Order: SVU.

Hikaru Shida's AEW Absence Explained
Three-time former Women's World Champion Hikaru Shida hasn't been seen on AEW programming in quite some time. Shida hasn't been seen on television for AEW since the November 20 episode of Dynamite when she lost to Kris Statlander. So why hasn't she been featured at all in 2025? Advertisement On a recent Twitch stream, AEW EVP Kenny Omega revealed that Shida is currently back in Japan waiting on her visa to be renewed. Omega also confirmed that he's been taking care of her cats while she's away. 'Shida, it's unfortunate, every couple of years, everyone has to go back to their home country and re-up their visa,' Kenny Omega said. 'I would've hated for her cats to have been alone for who knows how long because you never really know how long the process is going to take. In this case, it's taking quite a while. Her cats get separation anxiety and don't like being alone. Dobby [Kenny's cat] is generally very gentle. They do get along. It's nice and it's fun. I would do it anytime. It's not a chore.'

Beyoncé's global impact felt at London shows: 'I've moved to England because of Beyoncé'
Beyoncé's global impact felt at London shows: 'I've moved to England because of Beyoncé' Beyoncé's "Cowboy Carter" tour is keeping the momentum going in London, with fans from all over the world continuing to flock to the city to witness the international spectacle. The Grammy-winning singer kicked off her June 14 show at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday. The show marked her fifth of six shows at the stadium on her Cowboy Carter and the Rodeo Chitlin' Circuit Tour. Her last show in London is set for June 16, before she heads to Paris for three nights. And while the first U.K. show debuted over a week ago on June 5, fans continue to travel from across the globe, keeping the excitement alive for each show. 'I've moved to England because of Beyoncé' "I've moved to England because of Beyoncé. That was about 15 years ago," says Patrycja Lesiakowska, who attended multiple shows in London along with her best friend from London, Chichi Mbagwu. Lesiakowska says she became a huge fan back when Beyoncé released her 2006 album "B-Day," and she would go on to listen to that album and all the ones that followed on repeat. "I realized that she never came to Poland, and I needed to see Beyoncé live. I needed to witness it. I had a brother that lived in England. So I took my opportunity to move to England to see Beyoncé during 'Sasha Fierce.' And I signed myself up for college, went to university and stayed in England because I loved it," she says. "And I've seen Beyoncé ever since. But the best thing about it, I've also learned English because of Beyoncé." She says she used Google translate to understand her song lyrics and her interviews when she was 15 years old and would eventually learn the language. 'She taught me English' "So she taught me English. She changed my life. I'm here. I met my best friend. I got a career I wanted," Lesiakowska says. "I live in an amazing country and I have the opportunity to see Beyoncé all the time. But we actually follow her all over the world." Mbagwu and and Lesiakowska met through Beyoncé nearly 15 years ago when they both attended a House of Deréon launch in London and have remained friends since. They've attended her shows together over the years and plan to return to the stadium for her final London concert — their 52nd show together. "I feel honored that I'm able to witness it. I think it's such a huge moment and a huge movement," Mbagwu says. And while "Cowboy Carter" is rich with American history, the impact is profound all over the world. "I think it personally resonates a lot because I think there's been a lot of erasure of Black people," Mbagwu says. "A lot of culture comes from Black people, and I think that's kind of lost down the line in terms of, you know, appropriation. The artistry, the message behind the songs and the way she of invokes her art — it's artwork. Genuinely 'Cowboy Carter' is artwork." 'Attending Beyoncé's tour in London felt significant' Other fans traveled from Australia, Italy, the U.S. and everywhere in between. And it's clear no matter what pocket of the world, Beyoncé's impact and messages have not only been heard but felt. "London is a city that carries such a vibrant energy," says Brendan Thomas, who traveled from West Yorkshire, England, for the show. "It's a cultural melting pot where art, music and people collide in the most inspiring ways. Attending Beyoncé's tour in London felt significant because it's one of those cities where the audience truly matches her energy." He added: "The album feels deeply personal and unapologetic like Beyoncé inviting us into her world while reminding us of our own power. It resonates because it's not just music. It's a statement of freedom, resilience and joy." As fans know, Beyoncé first debuted her "Cowboy Carter" tour at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles on April 28 with 39 songs on the set list. Her tour has been filled with family, fashion, different music genres, and most notably country music and cultural commentary. The June 14 show was no different as she debuted more looks and delivered another high-energy show. The nine-city tour will span the U.S. and Europe with the grand finale taking place in Las Vegas on July 26.
