Becoming Judy: A Coming Out Story

Club Cafe
209 Columbus Avenue Boston

Tribute artist Peter Mac, whose portrayals of the late, great Judy Garland have earned him acclaim from audiences and critics alike for over a decade, is renowned for his nuanced glimpses into Garland's complex personality and inner life. Mac's latest show, Becoming Judy: A Coming Out Story, explores homophobia and domestic abuse via the lens of his growing-up years. Mac spent a challenging adolescence in a Long Island town where he suffered physical and verbal abuse from both his classmates and the walking time bomb he called "Dad." Happily, he found solace and joy in the magical charm of Judy Garland's films and music. You'll see Mac's transformation as he steps into the high heels of the legendary diva who gave Mac reason to survive and thrive. So good is Mac, Garland's co-stars Mickey Rooney and Margaret O'Brien commended him for his respectful, stunningly accurate portrayal. Based on Mac's hit off-Broadway show Judy and Me, see Becoming Judy at Boston's Club Cafe.
