It is the 96th Anniversary of the birth of the brilliant Judy Garland on June 10, 2018. As such it feels entirely appropriate to rediscover the music and legacy of Hollywood's golden age songbird. Vegas Theatricals is presenting critically-acclaimed Tribute Artist Peter Mac in his award-winning musical recreation of a flawless triumphant 1960's-era Judy Garland.
Peter Mac is both critically-acclaimed** and award-winning*** for his portrayal of Judy Garland where he both sings and speaks live as the woman Tony Bennett called the World's Greatest Entertainer.
The entire show is sung live by Peter Mac - direct from his debut in Las Vegas - who has won awards and critical-acclaim for his accurate and loving portrayal of the woman Tony Bennett called "The World's Greatest Entertainer." Though June 22, 2018 marked the 49th Anniversary of Judy's untimely passing at the tender age of 47. Mac treats Judy as if she never left us. Mac has traveled across the country. Most recently he performed every week 2 year full-time sold out run in Boston at the legendary nightclub Club Cafe in a venue specifically redesigned as a dinner theatre to house Peter's performances.
Celebrity friends of Judy Garland have lauded Peter Mac after his performances. At one of the many nights that Academy Award winner Margaret O'Brien attended a performance of Peter as Judy, she brought Peter a note and said to read it onstage, but not beforehand. The note read, "Have a great opening! Sorry we couldn't be with you tonight. All the best on a successful run. Love, Joey Luft and Liza Minnelli."
Talk about emotional. The Garland heirs are very wary of Judy impersonators - especially in the gay community - because they often play up or make up negative aspects of her life. Mac puts it best: "Judy's perceived problems were a very small thread in a very large tapestry in an AMAZING life and career. And that's not why Judy's so loved and well-remembered. She was not a tragic figure."
Judy Garland Live in Concert! is a loving and affectionate tribute to the World's Greatest Entertainer. It is indeed both critically acclaimed and award winning. Peter Mac as Judy Garland won the prestigious Southern Motion Picture Council Award for his "Live Performances as the Great Judy Garland". The award was presented to him by Margaret O'Brien and the late great Mickey Rooney in a gala celebration. Mickey Rooney in his presentation speech about Peter as Judy said onstage to a capacity audience: "This is beyond an imitation. Peter Mac is Phenomenal!"
