Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga: Cheek to Cheek Live! is an American concert television special featuring live performances by Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga in support of their collaborative studio album, Cheek to Cheek, released in September 2014. It was held at the Rose Theater of Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts in July following the announcement of the album's release, and was aired on PBS on October 24, 2014, as part of the network's Great Performances series. The concert was watched by an audience consisting of invited guests and students from New York schools. Bennett and Gaga were joined on stage by 39-piece orchestra and jazz musicians associated with both artists.

Plot

Filmed in front of a live audience in New York City earlier in 2014, Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga perform 60 minutes of jazz standards, including It Don't Mean a Thing, Sophisticated Lady, Let's Face the Music and Dance, Anything Goes and Cheek to Cheek. Backed by a 39-piece orchestra, this glamorous showcase, art-directed and lit by theatre genius Robert Wilson, marries the vocal talents of a legendary crooner with a global pop star. The result is a nostalgic treat with a modern twist.
