Peter Mac Brings The Judy Garland Christmas Special to Cre8tive NYC Studios This Weekend

Celebrating the 60th anniversary of Judy Garland's legendary 1963 CBS Christmas special, Peter Mac, a award-winning tribute artist, is set to star in a unique homage to the iconic show. This season marks not only the historic anniversary of Garland's television special but also Peter Mac's 20th year of performing as the legendary entertainer. The tribute show opens at Cre8tive NYC Studios on Saturday, November 25, 2023, inviting audiences to a refreshed and timeless celebration of Garland's legacy as if she never left us.

Peter Mac, distinguished for his deeply emotive and respectful portrayal of Judy Garland, brings to the stage a performance that transcends mere impersonation. His dedication to capturing the essence of Garland's spirit and complexity has been recognized and celebrated, with numerous accolades including the prestigious Golden Halo Award presented to him by Mickey Rooney in a gala celebration in his honor in 2012.

Significantly, Mac's portrayal of Garland has received heartfelt endorsement, evidenced when Margaret O'Brien presented him onstage in Los Angeles with a letter from Garland's children, Liza Minnelli and Joey Luft, wishing him a terrific run. This bond was further enriched by a memorable dinner shared by Mac and his husband, Dr. John Mac, with Joey Luft and Margaret O'Brien before their relocation back to New York.

In this special production, Dr. John Mac, Peter's real-life husband, portrays the incomparable Bea Arthur, adding to the show's allure. Additionally, the audience can anticipate surprise guest appearances by Peter throughout the run, showcasing his versatile talent and paying tribute to other entertainment legends.
