*****
The New York Post has called "Judy Garland LIVE!" starring Tommy Femia "the city's cleverest, sharpest Judy Garland impersonation. It keeps fans coming back to his shows because Femia keeps coming up with surprises. He doesn't just give you the great Garland signature songs (from ‘Over the Rainbow' to ‘The Man That Got Away'), he comes up with new songs, in her style, that she never had a chance to do."

Time Out New York says: "Turn off your Minnelli on Minnelli CD and put down that gossipy tell-all. If you want the ‘real' Judy, drop by Mama's for Femia's wildly entertaining performance."

Back Stage calls it "one of cabaret's best shows by a super talent who always gives 200%;"

Where Magazine calls Femia a "female impersonator extraordinaire;"

Daily News said: "If you think all Judy Garland impersonators are a drag, you haven't seen Tommy Femia. He'll mesmerize you whether you're Garland's most ardent admirer or the fan that got away!"
