In this Judy Garland centennial year, Lyrics and Lyricists™ presents Judy on TV!: Celebrating “The Judy Garland Show,” looking at Garland’s iconic talent through the lens of her landmark 1963-64 weekly television broadcasts. The show plays on Saturday, May 6, Sunday, May 7 and Monday, May 8 at Kaufmann Concert Hall at 92Y. Billy Stritch is music director for the tribute, written and directed by Tony Award nominee Dick Scanlan.
The cast includes Aisha de Haas, Gabrielle Stravelli, Alysha Umphress and Max Von Essen.
The Judy Garland Show lasted only nine months and the star saw its cancellation as a devastating failure. Stritch and Scanlan see it much differently, noting that the show’s 26 hours of concert material capture a crucial era of her life and legacy as one of the greatest entertainers of all time.
Tickets are available here.
92Y is located at 1395 Lexington Ave, New York, NY
