LIZA & JUDY TOGETHER AGAIN to Play El Portal Theatre, 3/18-20
By: Tyler Peterson Mar. 01, 2016
LIZA & JUDY: Together Again stars Denise Rose as Judy Garland and Suzanne Goulet as Liza Minnelli as the most famous mother and daughter entertainers the world of show business.
In 1963, Judy introduced her daughter, Liza, to the world on the Judy Garland TV show and in 1964 they had a concert at the Palladium in London. Yes, it was the highly acclaimed Judy who gave her teenage daughter her first taste of show business. The world, unfortunately, never saw them perform "Together Again" as Judy passed away before Liza was successfully recognized as her mother's equal.
LIZA & JUDY: Together Again is a tribute show presenting the experienced Liza at her peak, back together with her proud mother. Denise and Suzanne have the looks, the voices and the dancing ability to make this fantasy come true. They also have the great energy that the originals always brought on stage and they transmit the love they had for each other.
Suzanne Goulet is originally a dancer and never intended to become a celebrity impersonator, but after being constantly told of her resemblance to Minnelli, she decided to give it a go and trained vocally to achieve the unique Minnelli sound. Goulet performs exclusively as Minnelli, and has garnered gigs around the world. She is also the only entertainer who emulates Liza in the "Legends in Concert" shows.
Minnelli's mother, Judy Garland, is portrayed by Denise Rose of Las Vegas. Rose was enamored of Garland since she was a teen and often sang along with her records and films. The two have much in common, such as both being born in Minnesota (Garland in Grand Rapids and Rose in the Twin Cities) and standing 4 feet, 11 inches tall.
Rose's first connection to her idol was performing at the Judy Garland Festival in Grand Rapids for two years.
Suzanne Goulet as "Liza" and Denise Rose as "Judy" amazingly look, sing live and dance like the Legends they portray. With or without their Cabaret dancers, Judy & Liza present production numbers that will transport you back in time. You'll see a recreation of "Get Happy" and "Swanne" from Judy's movies, Liza's famous "Bye Bye Blackbird" from "Liza with a Z" and the "Stepping Out" tap dance that she did at Radio City Music Hall.... just to name a few.
Three performances only on Friday March 18 at 8 pm, Sat. March 19 , 8 pm and Sunday, March 20 at 3 pm.
