Jim Bailey Is Judy Garland - Live In Concert
 Herbst Theatre - San Francisco
Saturday, December 20, 2008 at 8:00 PM
World-renowned artist, Jim Bailey, live in concert
accompanied by a full orchestra, performs his highly acclaimed tribute to the world's greatest entertainer-Judy Garland.
Celebrating 40 years in a career that has taken him from Carnegie Hall to the London Palladium to over 80 television and film appearances, Mr Bailey continues to enthrall audiences with his stunning visual and vocal mastery.
Accompanied by a full orchestra, Jim will perform the most well known songs from the Garland repertoire, including "The Trolley Song", "Swanee", "Old Man River","The Man That Got Away", to name just a few, plus special selections to commemorate the holiday season.
This appearance celebrates the 40th year anniversary of when, in 1968, Jim Bailey, at the beginning of his career, was joined on a Los Angeles stage by Garland herself and sang "Bye Bye Blackbird" as a duet. This was the beginning of a close friendship which endured until Garland's death a year later.
The London Times noted "He defies disbelief".
The Boston Globe stated "He is an inspiration; the next best thing to Garland herself".
"One of the most astonishing acts to ever tread the boards..."
