Pick of the Day: 11th Annual Night of 1000 Judys (in NYC) 6/12
If our memory serves us correctly, it has been far too long since the astounding Justin Sayre has put on their Night of 1000 Judys in person (the last one we can remember was done virtually). It’s both a glorious tribute to one of America’s brightest shining stars in the iconic Judy Garland and a wondrous exhibition of Justin’s brilliant comedic and musical verve.
Also, it’s a benefit, once again, for the crucial NYC org, The Ali Forney Center that serves at-risk LGBTQIA+ youth with specialized housing and services.
Joining Sayre for this edition of a Night of 1000 Judys will be many of Broadway’s very best including:
Lauren Patten (Jagged Little Pill on Broadway)
Julie Benko (Funny Girl on Broadway)
Nellie McKay (celebrated singer/songwriter)
Telly Leung (“Glee,” Aladdin on Broadway)
Alexandra Silber (Grammy nominee, Fiddler on the Roof on Broadway)
T. Oliver Reid (Hadestown on Broadway)
Carole J. Bufford (BroadwayWorld’s “Vocalist of the Year”)
jazz vocalist Hilary Kole (Carnegie Hall, Blue Note)
Jack Bartholet (Bistro Award winner)
Elizabeth Ward Land (Scandalous on Broadway)
Jae W.B. (Lincoln Center’s Festival of Firsts).
This 11th Annual Night of 1000 Judys is set for Mon. Jun. 12th at Joe’s Pub at 7PM. Whether it be because of love of Judy Garland, NYC comedy, and/or Pride, this is a night you absolutely shouldn’t miss. Tickets are going for $75-$175 and you can (and very, very much should) get them here.
