What I liked
Simplicity of concept and direction, eshewing Imitation.
What I didn't like
How much of the material is included? I would gladly have heard MORE!
My overall impression
What a smart, novel way to handle a highly specialized solo show! Instead of diving into Imitation, always a compromise, drag or not, black-clad Jason Powell simply steps on-stage and recites the text of the tapes Judy Garland contributed to a foredoomed attempt at autobiography, adding a range of inflections that bring her back to life, successfully. Though Gifted, Judy was a vengeful, uneducated child as her life rapidly came undone, and the overall effect is pathetic—-though part of the audience found it (unaccountably) hilarious.
