It’s been 86 years since the world first heard Judy Garland sing about a place “Somewhere Over the Rainbow,” and her star power is just as potent as it was then.

Join Jenna Pastuszek and Broadway’s Joshua Zecher Ross in this 103rd birthday celebration of the world’s greatest entertainer. With “lavishly clever arrangements,” and “witty, endearing personal stories,” this isn’t a traditional Judy Garland tribute — there will be no impersonation here. Instead, lifelong Judy fans will love the cleverly curated playlist balanced with beloved classics and forgotten gems while millennials and Gen Zers will discover an artist who truly transcends time. It’s time to celebrate live entertainment, and “forget your troubles, come on, GET HAPPY!”

Featuring music from The Wizard of Oz, Easter Parade, Judy Live at Carnegie Hall, Judy at The Palace, The Judy Garland Show, and more, you won’t want to miss this celebration of Judy’s legacy.

Nominated for BroadwayWorld’s San Diego 2021 Regional Awards for Best Cabaret/Concert/Solo Performance!
