Alexis Michelle Sings Judy Garland At Club Cumming

After a sold-out WorldPride debut, Alexis Michelle, star of Drag Me Down the Aisle and Drag Race, makes her triumphant return to Club Cumming with this tribute to Judy Garland. Through songs that Judy made iconic, Alexis honors the memory of the starlet that became the World's Greatest Entertainer. Far from impersonation, Alexis's one of a kind tribute to Judy Garland runs one night only.

This show follows the first day of RuPaul's DragCon at the Javits Center.

Alexis Michelle Sings Judy Garland features music direction by Brandon James Gwinn. The evening is produced by James Will McBride.
