Rufus Wainwright, the gay singer/songwriter, has explained his clichéd obsession with Judy Garland by saying: "Me and Judy have got the same cheekbones and we both like gay men a lot."
On Sunday he recreated Garlands famous 1961 comeback concert at Manhattan's Carnegie Hall. He performed the show at the London Palladium.
Wainwright, 33, admitted: "As a child I dressed up in an apron as Dorothy on good days. On bad days I put on my mother's fine gowns and became the melting wicked Witch."
He could probably charge people more to see that show than he could to hear him sing.
Speaking of Judy Garland, There is a popular new group on Yahoo called THE JUDY GARLAND EXPERIENCE. They have amazing rare audio files that are changed twice weekly, great photo's, lively discussions, and a membership that not only includes Judy's fan's, but her family members, friends, people worked with her, author's of Garland biographies, Garland Historians, people who have created and/or directed film and theater projects about her, and many more. The only thing missing is you!
