Judy Garland News

There’s an old adage that warns that you should never meet your childhood heroes because they will inevitably be disappointing. I’m happy to report that the old adage is dead wrong. Not only was Andrea McArdle not a disappointment, she was exactly right. She was in fantastic voice, she looked like a million bucks, and she sang every single song you wanted her to sing, including THAT one. But that song is only the tip of the iceberg in a long Broadway career that has been full of surprises. Her show tonight reflected that and had a few surprises of its own.

Though the Night of a Thousand Judys will have to be virtual this year, it allows amazing talent like Alan Cumming to participate from another state... like so many others who want to be a part of this important charitable concert.

AMERICA’S SWEETHEARTS is a bit of an organization. The group consists of eleven women but only three perform at any one performance. Tonight’s trio consisted of group founder Carly Kincannon, Amanda Lavergne (Annie, The People in the Picture, ) and Kristen Michelle (Once Upon a Mattress.) Their show is a bundle of joy that makes you want to tap your toes and dance in the aisles. Their energy is infectious. They even managed a costume change going from modified WACS uniforms to slinky burgundy sequin gowns.
