World Premiere: June 28 & 29
NEW YORK--(Business Wire)--
The timeless artistry of Judy Garland and the impact of her most
dynamic performances join with the symphonic sounds of the Boston Pops
in the world premiere of Judy Garland In Concert. Returning to the
stage in this all-new concert event, Judy will electrify audiences
June 28 and 29 at the legendary Symphony Hall in Boston,
Massachusetts.
Judy Garland In Concert uses cutting-edge technology to present
the sights and sounds of Judy performing her greatest hits. Audiences
will experience Judy's singular stage presence accompanied by a live
orchestra performing the classic arrangements that have thrilled
millions worldwide. Multiple screens above the stage will incorporate
rare home movies, photographs and the star's own reminiscences to
create a magical evening of unique entertainment spanning her entire
life and career.
"I'll never forget watching my mom perform," said Judy Garland's
son, Joe Luft, "the passion she brought to the stage and the way she
could captivate an audience. I believe Judy Garland In Concert
captures that experience."
"This is the great American songbook of the 20th century performed
by the foremost interpreter of these songs," said James Sanna,
Executive Producer of Judy Garland In Concert. "In every respect, it's
the greatest Judy Garland concert ever. Audiences are in for an
amazing one-of-a-kind experience that includes favorites like 'Over
the Rainbow,' 'That's Entertainment,' 'Chicago' and many others."
"Judy was the original American idol," said Emmy(R)-winning
Garland authority John Fricke, who serves as Creative Supervisor for
Judy Garland In Concert. "The public repeatedly voted her number one
through buying movie tickets and flocking to her live performances.
Judy's concerts gave audiences a remarkable sense of being alive.
There's nobody like her, then or now."
Judy Garland In Concert marks Judy's debut with the Boston Pops
and her return to the Boston concert stage after more than 40 years.
In August 1967 she performed a free concert in Boston Common for
108,000 people.
