Carole J. Bufford and Stephanie Blythe are the star vocalists in Happy Birthday, Judy! a duo-remembrance of the legendary Judy Garland on the evening of her centennial. The one-time-only concert plays at the Birdland Theater on Friday, June 10 as a benefit for The Mabel Mercer Foundation. Happy Birthday, Judy! is produced by Sanford Fisher; John Boswell serves as the evening’s musical director.
All tickets include a three-course gourmet dinner at 6:30 PM, followed by Bufford and Blythe at 8 PM. Prices are $200 for standard seating, and $500 for VIP seating; the latter includes prime location and a post-show “meet & greet.” A cash bar will be available throughout the evening.
The June 10th roster of musical numbers will cover the entire Garland career arc: from vaudeville to film, recordings to television, revue to concerts — and from her standards to less familiar material. Among the titles are “After You’ve Gone,” “Chicago,” “The Man That Got Away,” “I Remember You,” “Look for the Silver Lining,” and “It’s a New World.”
Tickets are available at birdlandjazz.com or by calling (212) 581-3080.
Birdland Theater is located at 315 West 44th St, New York City
