Triangle Players in Scott’s Addition is hosting a special two-night performance from Debra Wagoner, featuring the music of legendary actress Judy Garland.

From the news release:

One of Richmond’s most renowned performers is now bringing RTP an evening of music made famous by one of the most legendary entertainers of the 20th century — Judy Garland.

Debra Wagoner, award-winning actress and vocalist, is perhaps best known for her performances as Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz, and her crowd-pleasing portrayal of Patsy Cline in Always, Patsy Cline.

Debra has played roles as varied as Lizzie in Baby; Cinderella in Into the Woods and in Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Cinderella; Brunhilde in Das Barbecu; Julie Jordan in Carousel; Sister Mary Amnesia in Nunsense; Amalia in She Loves Me; and the title role in Violet.

She is the recipient of the Pollak Prize for Excellence in the Arts and, along with Cathy Motley-Fitch and Desiree Roots, performs as the Richmond Divas at the Cultural Arts Center in Glen Allen.

In honor of Halloween, special prizes will be awarded for those coming dressed as characters from their favorite Judy Garland films!

‘Debra Wagoner: An Evening of Judy Garland’ takes place Friday, October 31st and Saturday November 1st, at 8:00 PM. Tickets are $15; reserved cabaret-style seating only.
