Event Admission
All events at Miller Outdoor Theatre are FREE! There are two types of seating: Hill seating which doesn’t require a ticket, and covered seating that does require a ticket. The tickets, however, are FREE! A portion of the tickets will be available from our website one day prior to the performance you wish to see starting at 10:00 AM through noon the day of the show, or until tickets run out. Accessible seating is only available by calling the box office in advance. We reserve the rest of the tickets for pick up from the box office which opens an hour before show starts. As always, you never need a ticket for the Hill! Just bring a blanket or a lawn chair, a picnic, and you’re good to go!

With her Grammy Award-Winning Verve Records debut, Linger Awhile, 23-year-old Bronx native Samara Joy makes her case to join the likes of Sarah, Ella, and Billie as the next mononymous jazz singing sensation recorded by the venerable label.
Her voice, rich and velvety yet precociously refined, has already earned her fans like Anita Baker and Regina King, appearances on the TODAY Show, The Tonight Show w/Jimmy Fallon, The Late Show w/Stephen Colbert, CBS Mornings, MSNBC, Kelly Clarkson, Jennifer Hudson, Drew Barrymore, etc., in addition to millions of likes on TikTok — cementing her status as perhaps the first Gen Z jazz singing star.
On Linger Awhile, Samara introduces that massive audience to a slew of classic standards several times older than she is through her timeless, irresistible sound. The New York Times praised the “silky-voiced rising star” for “helping jazz take a youthful turn” while NPR All Things Considered named her a “classic jazz singer from a new generation.” In February 2023, Samara Joy took home two GRAMMYs – Best Jazz Vocal Album and the auspicious Best New Artist award.
All performances at Miller Outdoor Theatre are FREE!
