It's a meticulously researched, complete life bio, there are 9 costume changes & 4 wigs and it's simply grande entertainment for one and all. The show will run all this month and most likely into the first two weeks of July. Cake was served after Saturday and Sunday's performances, June 9 & 10 with a sing-a-long 'Happy Birthday, Judy' tribute.

One More Chance to Catch Nifty, Groovy Chew On This
by Don Grigware - May 22, 2012


Do you like the music of the 50s, 60s and 70s? I should say, do you love it? Love it in fact, so much, that it has become an addiction? How can you tell? Well, has your vinyl collection become such a clutter that you find yourself tripping over it wherever you take a step? Do you find yourself constantly flipping channels on your car radio to find that oldies but goodies station? Or preferring reruns on TV Land of The Partridge Family or Donnie and Marie over American Idol, Glee or Smash? Sounds to me like you're hooked. You need to come to a BGA Meeting - only one left - on Sunday May 27 at 2 pm at Peter Mac's Supper Club inside the French Market Place on Santa Monica Blvd in WeHo. FYI, BGA stands for Bubble Gums Anonymous with the slogan The more you pop, the better it gets. It's all part and parcel of a nifty little show called Chew On This which has in spades the genre of music that any bubble gum addict could ever possibly wish for.

BWW Reviews: Peter Mac Rocks with JUDY AND COMPANY
by Don Grigware - May 22, 2012


Judy and Company with Judy Garland, Liza Minnelli, Peggy Lee, Tallulah Bankhead and Katie Hepburn, ladies of screen, theatre and TV all sharing top billing, as usual is a joyous Peter Mac show. At the all new Peter Mac Supper Club in Hollywood, Garland opens and closes with a bevy of her hits including, 'Almost Like Being in Love', 'This Can't Be Love', 'The Man That Got Away', 'The Trolley Song' and 'By Myself' from the film I Could Go On Singing. Garland is in rare form, never missing a beat, even getting in a dig about losing the Oscar for Star to Grace Kelly. Next comes Miss Tallulah Bankhead SINGING an outrageous 'Everybody's F------But Me' and 'Como te gusta mi pinga...', with Spanish making the obscenity sound acceptable, actually quite delicious. Jokes fly out of her trashy mouth, and there's even a raunchy Snow White fable. Following Tallu comes a hilariously, talk about stoned, Peggy Lee who gives her all to 'Is That All There Is?' and the politically incorrect 'Manana'. Lee's synthetic blonde wig gives Mac some great dish lines. Then, like a tornado from QVC, in flies the one and only Liza Minnelli - ablaze in red sequins - giving us not two but three numbers 'Say Yes', 'Liza with a Z' and 'Maybe This Time' with quite an interesting anecdote about how the former was actually written for Kaye Ballard but became a big hit in theCabaret film for Liza. The final guest is Kate Hepburn who treats us to her inimitable rendition of 'Coco' and 'The Glory of Love' echoing her unusual 27 year extra-marital relationship with Spencer Tracy.
