Every year for 8 years, the brilliant writer/actor/raconteur/comedian Justin Sayre puts up his fantastic, heartfelt, wild tribute to the legendary Judy Garland, A Night of a Thousand Judys, in support of LGBTQ+ unhoused youth through the Ali Forney Center.

Even though they can’t do a big stage show this year because of the global pandemic, they are still pushing on with an online concert that will feature:

Lena Hall (Tony winner for Hedwig)
Natalie Douglas (12x MAC Winner)
Nathan Lee Graham (Zoolander, “LA to Vegas”)
Eva Noblezada (Hadestown)
Adam Pascal (Rent)
Beth Malone (Fun Home)
Alice Ripley (Next to Normal)
George Salazar (Be More Chill)
Ann Harada (Avenue Q)
T. Oliver Reid (Hadestown)
Jessica Vosk (Wicked)
Spencer Day (#1 Billboard artist)
Bright Light Bright Light (Elton John, Cher)

and more!

Whether you’re deeply in love with Judy Garland or not (or even just got into her recently because of Renée Zellweger’s recent performance of Judy in Judy), you should cut out time from your binging watching of other things to tune into this Judy Garland tribute extravaganza.

A Night of a Thousand Judys is set for Tues. July 14th at 5PM PT/8PM ET. You can get more details, donate, and then watch it here.
