This writer thinks the greatest entertainer of all time was Judy Garland. Rising Action Theatre has brought her back for a visit.

Direct from New York City, Tommy Femia stars in his award winning show as Judy Garland, singing her own songs and doing her patter. Gary Lawrence is Judy/Tommy's accompanist on the piano.

Tommy has won an unprecedented 5 MAC Awards for Outstanding Impersonation and a Back Stage Bistro Award for his work. Tommy also received a 6th MAC Award for Outstanding Musical Comedy Duo for "Judy Garland & Liza Minnelli Live!," co-starring Christine Pedi (Forbidden Broadway, The Sopranos) as Judy's daughter Liza Minnelli.

Accolades include:

"A pricelessly sung Judy Garland!" Michael Musto Village Voice

"Fabulous!" New York Times

"The Most Extraordinary Judy Garland Impersonator this side of Oz!" Theatre Mania

"We were on our feet screaming for more!" New York Blade

"Brilliantly channels a mature Judy Garland." Where Magazine

"The best Judy Garland Impersonator in the world!" Cabaret Hotline

"Truly Amazing" Time Out

Tommy Femia has performed as Judy on national television, in two Off-Broadway shows, Whoop-Dee-Doo! and I Will Come Back!, and at clubs, casinos and events around the world.

Gary Lawrence has musically directed for such great as Shirley Bassey, Mel Torme, Steve Allen, Cab Calloway, Howard Keel, Mickey Katz and others.
