# Event Details - **Event Name**: “JUDY GARLAND: An Intimate Evening With A LEGEND” starring PETER MAC - **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 15 May, 2026 at 08:00 pm – Fri, 15 May, 2026 at 09:45 pm (-04:00) - **Event Description**: FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE “JUDY GARLAND: An Intimate Evening With A LEGEND” Starring Peter Mac as Judy Garland Friday, May 15, 2026 at 8:00 PM Regent Theatre — Arlington, Massachusetts Arlington, MA — Audiences are invited to experience the music, humor, and emotional power of the woman who was universally billed as "The World's Greatest Entertainer" when award-winning and critically-acclaimed tribute artist Peter Mac - now in his 24th year - brings his celebrated show “JUDY GARLAND: An Intimate Evening With A LEGEND” to the historic Regent Theatre on Friday, May 15, 2026 at 8:00 PM. This special performance coincides with the 170th anniversary of the birth of author L. Frank Baum (May 15, 1856), whose beloved novel The Wizard of Oz launched Judy Garland to international stardom and forever changed the landscape of American popular culture. The evening serves as a tribute not only to Garland’s extraordinary legacy but also to the enduring magic of Oz. Fresh from his acclaimed Boston Pops debut, where he performed as a featured soloist as Judy Garland during the orchestra’s Pride concert. Of this performance Robert Nesti of Edge Media Network said: "With every gesture and tic in place and a delivery of Garland zingers that could even fool Liza Minnelli, Mac was every inch the diminutive superstar; most notably when she recalled the famous Carnegie Hall concert by sitting on the apron of the stage to deliver a poignant "Over the Rainbow." Peter Mac brings a rare authenticity and theatrical depth to this iconic role. He is widely regarded as one of the world’s leading interpreters of Garland and remains the only tribute artist — male or female — ever endorsed by Garland’s longtime co-star Mickey Rooney during Rooney’s lifetime. Per Mr. Rooney of Peter Mac: “This is beyond an imitation, Peter Mac is phenomenal, and I knew her and I loved her (Judy) and this is much more than an imitation, this is an ARTIST. Peter Mac is Phenomenal!” Unlike the many negative portrayals of Ms. Garland, Mac’s recreation is a sincere, fully realized theatrical embodiment performed entirely live, without lip-syncing. Imagine a world where Judy Garland never left. This fantasia allows for the celebration of the past but very much is a part of the present, the show recreates the experience of a classic Garland concert, featuring her signature songs, spontaneous banter, and intimate storytelling that captures her wit, vulnerability, and resilience. Expect the classics "The Trolley Song"; "The Man That Got Away"; "Over The Rainbow"; and even a couple of songs that...got away! Mac describes himself as a “male actress,” underscoring his focus on character-driven performance rather than impersonation. His work has earned praise from individuals who knew Garland personally, including Academy Award–winning actress Margaret O’Brien, who presented him with the Southern California Motion Picture Council’s prestigious Golden Halo Award in recognition of his artistry While best known for his Judy Garland tribute, Mac has also portrayed legendary figures such as Katharine Hepburn, Bette Davis, and Bea Arthur in a wide range of theatrical productions, and has appeared in cities across the United States, including New York, Los Angeles, Boston, and Las Vegas, in both long-running engagements and special events. “JUDY GARLAND: An Intimate Evening With A LEGEND” promises an unforgettable night of music, laughter, nostalgia, and heartfelt emotion — a rare opportunity to experience the spirit of Judy Garland brought vividly back to life on stage.
