TOMMY FEMIA – JUDY GARLAND LIVE!
It's been almost 40 years since audiences have had the opportunity to see Judy Garland perform live in concert. But now, The Bijou Theatre is offering the next best thing. World-renowned Judy Garland impersonator, Tommy Femia, will be appearing for the first time on stage at The Bijou Theatre, accompanied by his musical director and Connecticut native, David Maiocco.
"You’ve got to be known for something if you want to get anywhere," Tommy Femia likes to say. He celebrates 20 seasons of Judy Garland LIVE! at the famed New York Cabaret Club, Don’t Tell Mama.
“Beyond the sequined outfits and pantyhose, the makeup and wig, this requires a kind of psychic immersion into the wounded artist who was Judy Garland: the vaudevillian childhood and early fame; the frailties and addictions; the exhaustion and self-doubt; that singular voice.”- The New York Times“the city’s cleverest, sharpest Judy Garland impersonation. It keeps fans coming back to his shows because Femia keeps coming up with surprises. He doesn’t just give you the great Garland signature songs (from ‘Over the Rainbow’ to ‘The Man That Got Away’), he comes up with new songs, in her style, that she never had a chance to do.”• The New York Post“If you think all Judy Garland impersonators are a drag, you haven’t seen Tommy Femia”• Daily News
