A host of Broadway and television stars will celebrate Judy Garland s life and legacy in New York City next week, just two days after what would have been the Hollywood icons 101st birthday.
Now in its 11th year, Night of a Thousand Judys is set to take place Monday, June 12, at Joes Pub at The Public Theater. The lineup features the breakout star of Broadways Funny Girl revival, Julie Benko , along with Telly Leung and Tony winner Lauren Patten , among other performers.
As in previous years, 2023s Night of a Thousand Judys will be hosted by writer-performer Justin Elizabeth Sayre , whose credits include TV series like 2 Broke Girls and The Cool Kids.
Proceeds from the show will benefit the Ali Forney Center , a New York-based advocacy group for homeless LGBTQ+ youth.
