Rufus Wainwright: Rufus Does Judy at Carnegie Hall
Artist: Rufus Wainwright
Title: Rufus Does Judy at Carnegie Hall
Product Type: COMPACT DISCS
On June 14, 2006, Rufus Wainwright took to the stage to recreate "the Greatest Show of All Time ever staged in honor of the Greatest Show of All Time"-Judy Garland's legendary 1961 concert at Carnegie Hall; song-for-song, in it's original venue. Garland fanatics feared a fiasco, but the show was a triumph. His sophisticated act of homage to his hero was both a loving tribute and an arch commentary on the original, featuring classics like "Over the Rainbow, " "Come Rain Or Come Shine" and "Zing! Went the Strings of My Heart." Backed by a 36-piece orchestra and arranged by the Broadway famed Stephen Oremus (Wicked, Avenue Q), Rufus's vocal talent soars over those classic melodies on this 2-disc set.
