Happy 100th Birthday, Judy! is the worldwide celebration of the 100th Birthday of one of the greatest performers of our time starring overnight internet sensation, Debbie Wileman, in an uncanny recreation of the sound of Judy Garland! Debbie commands the stage – all with a live orchestra! she features the famous hit songs from Judy’s illustrious career, and as an added treat, she sings songs of today (from Lady Gaga, Adele, Amy Winehouse, the Beatles, and more) that Judy would sing if she were with us today. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime evening you won’t want to miss!
