Every generation deserves to get to know the great Judy Garland. From an early age, she had a vocal maturity and charisma that the camera couldn’t help but love. Judy could attack a song and sing it until the roof flew off of it! Her troubled personal life seemed to fuel her dedication and desire to give her fans everything they asked for. Her music captured the nation’s heart and continues to resonate with us. This is an evening that is all Judy: her exuberant voice, her warmth and her spirit. And, the songs: "Swanee", "Rock-A-Bye Your Baby", "Zing! Went The Strings Of My Heart", "Get Happy", "I Don't Care", "The Boy Next Door", "Lucky Day", "The Man That Got Away", "Why Was I Born", and, of course, her most beloved song, "Over The Rainbow".
