A special tribute to Judy Garland to benefit The Ali Forney Center, the largest organization helping homeless LGBT+ youth in the US

Called “a rambunctious, uproarious, unpredictable all-star concert” by The Wall Street Journal, “Night of a Thousand Judys” will honor the iconic Judy Garland with special skits, tributes and songs from her legendary career as movie star, recording artist and stage performer.

The evening is written and hosted by Justin Elizabeth Sayre, directed by Peter James Cook, choreographed by Jason Wise, and features Drew Wutke as the event’s music director. “Night of a Thousand Judys” is produced by Dan Fortune and Adam J. Rosen, with Dan Fortune serving as executive producer.
