New England’s #1 live singing Judy Garland and Barbra Streisand impersonators, Summer Orlando and Barbra Joan Streetsand, are coming to town! Summer and Babs have taken this critically acclaimed show through New England, New York City, Florida, Rehoboth Beach, and across the United States, bringing Judy and Babs to life through music, story, and song. Summer was handpicked by the producers of the film Judy to be one of their promotional Judys on the red carpet and is also the first male actor in the world to play the role of Dorothy in a licensed production of The Wizard of Oz. Streetsand has won many regional awards including entertainer of the year.
This fully scripted and all live singing cabaret stage show full of rip-roaring comedy, scintillating solos, and dazzling duets will leave you begging for more. The program will include classics like “Don’t Rain on My Parade,” “The Trolley Song,” “My Man,” and “Over the Rainbow.” You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and you’ll swear you’re seeing the real thing! This promises to give the audience everything they’d expect from a Garland and Streisand show and a little more than they didn’t know they needed in a one night only reunion with Judy and Barbra.
As Connecticut’s premier theater drag queen and illusionist, Summer Orlando is known for her Broadway quality costumes, showstopping performances, live singing, comedic timing, and her amazing event hosting skills. Her hosting duties include bachelorette parties, anniversaries, weddings, Pride events, Drag brunches, dinners, and birthday parties for all ages. She performs throughout New Haven and Hartford counties, in New York City, Florida, and everywhere in between!
