BWW Review: LORNA LUFT: GRATEFUL Has Them Dancing in the Aisles at 54 Below

Lorna Luft is a consummate entertainer. That’s no surprise of course. She was born to entertain. Her mother, Judy Garland was arguably the greatest entertainer of the 20th century. And Lorna has been entertaining professionally herself since she was 14 years old.
