La Mirada Theatre for the Performing Arts presents Get Happy: Angela Ingersoll Sings Judy Garland this Saturday, April 13th at 8 pm. The breathtaking star of last season’s End of the Rainbow returns to La Mirada for one night only. Emmy-nominated actress Angela Ingersoll celebrates the music of Judy Garland live in concert, as seen on PBS. In a “powerful virtuoso performance… the heiress apparent to the Garland legacy” (Splash Magazine) superbly captures Garland’s emotional and vocal power, and crafts passionate stories with a naturally winning humor. Backed by a powerful six-piece band, Ingersoll soars on beloved songs including, “Over the Rainbow,” “Come Rain or Come Shine,” “The Man That Got Away,” and many more.
Get Happy: Angela Ingersoll Sings Judy Garland received two Emmy Award nominations from the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences Chicago Chapter for outstanding achievement:
- Outstanding Sound Design: Andrew Twiss and Masaki Araya
- Outstanding Performer in a Program: Angela Ingersoll
Los Angeles Times declares, “The incandescent star power of the dynamic Ingersoll (is) a ringer for Garland in every respect.” Chicago Sun-Times exclaims, “Phenomenal. Judy Garland has been reborn.” Broadway World raves, “Ingersoll is transcendent… singing classic after classic to flawless perfection.” Songs include “Over the Rainbow,” “Come Rain Or Come Shine,” and “The Man That Got Away.”
Ingersoll is also known for her stunning portrayal of Garland in the play End of the Rainbow performed in Chicago, Los Angeles, St Louis, and La Mirada in November 2017. Her star turn earns continual acclaim, including Chicago’s Jeff Award for Best Actress, a Broadway World Award, and Los Angeles Times Woman of the Year in Theatre.
