Here is a clip from the critically acclaimed cabaret show - JUDY & BEA - 2 DOROTHYS MUSICALLY REUNITED....FOR THE FIRST TIME. This show ran for several performances last year and regaled audiences with the possibility that Judy and Bea met and were cast in the revival of Mame. Starring the Gender Illusionist team of Peter Mac and John Schaefer (a couple in real life) take to the stage as the legendary rainbow diva and as the loveable golden girl.
Here is what the experts had to say:
"The genuine affection Peter and John have for their "characters" shines through every moment of the show...and is surpassed only by the obvious knowledge and passion they share for the glories of classic Broadway/Hollywood entertainment and show music. That
passion is contagious -- and the fortunate audience is the beneficiary."~ John Fricke, Author
"Judy Garland Lives Again! Peter Mac is making entertainment history! His brilliance is obvious. Mac has an ingredient that adds up to a great star quality...I'd come back a thousand times!" ~ Joe Frankl
in, TV and Radio Impresario
"Peter Mac's Judy Garland is not merely impersonation, it is a knowing and affectionate portrayal of the woman and the artist -- a Judy both funny and touching. While he captures Garland's famous vocal and physical mannerism's, he does not let them descend to caricature
. His patter is smart and witty, yet with all of its sharpness, never mean spirited. Marvelously entertaining! This is lovely work."!~ Roy Sander, Critic
"One word - FABULOUS!" - Peter Fillichia
"Schaefer plays so deftly that if you are sitting in the back of the room, you may just believe that th
e previously-incomparable Bea Arthur herself is on stage." - Uproar Magazine
"Judy Garland comes to life before your eyes..." Gay City News
"John Schaefer is dead-on with his imitation, right down to the pursing of the lips and ever-akimbo left arm." - Out Magazine
"Peter Mac, in a performance
that had me guessing his gender until I read his bio in the program!" - HX Magazine
"John Schaefer was perfect in his portrayal of the role made famous by Bea Arthur." - NY Blade
"'Judy and Bea'is another testament to the love these boys have for their Divas and for doing their share to help out
a good cause! This recent love letter to their favorite ladies, leaves audience members laughing and cheering! Razor sharp comedy and hilarious impersonations all add up to a great evening of diva worship and cabaret kookiness at it's best! " ~ Scott Nevins, Show Host and Actor
