Music and Lyrics by Joe Patrick Ward
December 4 – December 28, 2014
SOLD OUT through Xmas! Join us on Dec 26, 27 or 28!
Making spirits bright this holiday season is none other than Judy Garland, reveling in all things old Hollywood glam!
“My goodness, I’m back home again. I’ve missed you all so much!”
With spiked grog in hand, Judy welcomes her baggage-ridden celebrity stars – Bing Crosby, Liberace, Ethel Merman, Joan Crawford, Lillian Hellman, VP Richard Nixon, Punch, and a special dark guest – to her 1959 TV Christmas Special. Stylized zany camp is the wrappings on this gift of clever satire, endearing fun and wicked toe-tapping music!
