Rufus Wainwright - Rufus Does Judy

Only a performer as talented and audacious as Rufus could pull off a tribute to Judy Garland’s legendary 1961 concert. The Carnegie CD and the Palladium DVD capture all of Wainwright’s gifts and chutzpah, although the DVD doesn’t feature his show-stopping Garland drag routine. Instead, Rufus focuses on his surging tenor, wringing emotion from two dozen Garland classics like “Over the Rainbow.” Special guests include Garland’s daughter, Lorna Luft, Rufus’ mother, Kate McGarrigle, and his dynamic sister, Martha.
