Just seen Tracie in Coronation Street and she gave me chills like actors rarely do. I had to look her up. What a terrific inspiration. She’s reminded me why I’m still an artist. ❤️❤️

Just saw Tracie Bennett and the brilliant cast of 'End of the Rainbow' in Cardiff. When people say something is "AMAZING!!!" it is on the whole hyperbole, in this instance amazing comes nowhere near how completely: exceptional, astonishing, bewildering...infact almost indescribable Ms Bennett's performance is. I urge anyone who has the chance to catch this powerful play with music to do, you won't regret it! Tracie is true to the lovely Judy in her final months: flawed, funny and fabulous!!!

She's nominated for a Tony and everyone bashing her is not. She has her own take on it and she isn't a cheap knock-off of Judy. If you've seen her live, you know the magic the audience feels when she sings Judy's songs and her acting is impeccable. You don't feel like you're watching an actress; you're watching Judy Garland up on that stage. This play is about her resilience from everything that happened to her and that should be celebrated, not criticized

Tracie is brilliant! And for those haters, why do want exact replicas of Judy. Tracie has energy and an approximation of what Garland is! I love Judy. But Tracie makes her come to life. Besides who else but I has all 24 episodes of Judy's T.V. series. Thats what should be made into a movie. The horrible year that Judy made her CBS show. Bennet could it!

No offense to Tracie Bennett, but I've noticed that men tend to imitate Judy Garland better than most women. A great example is the JudyCast podcast in iTunes....especially the early episodes. That guy is brilliant both speaking and singing, and it's interesting to hear him do Judy singing Madonna, Nirvana, etc.

I read a few good reviews of "End of the Rainbow"which is on Broadway now,yet after this performance I am vey much displeased. I don't think she sounds,or acts lke Judy. Perhaps no one can,I have enjoyed Isabel Keating in "The boy from Oz". I don't think I will be traveling to NYC to see this show.

She's good, I mean vocally stunning...but its more like Blanche Devereaux doing Judy...as in not a vulnerable bone in her body in this performance.

Not really that close to Judy. There is nothing in this rendition that makes me want to hear it again. This is one of my favorite Judy songs & I listen to it repeatedly when it is on. Tracie hits a few notes like Judy but doesn't seem to have the warmth or charm that Judy had. Judy also didn't breathe as loudly when she sang. I guess if you have to go to a theatre to see Judy rather than just watch her wonderful performances this is better than nothing ... but it isn't Judy & it isn't good.

Not a bad job at all, but someone needs to tell her not to pronounce words like "you" and "where" so posh-British - Judy never did that. That's how Julie Andrews would say them!

But then, as she said she wasn't trying to be an exact replica of Judy bot more of an interpretation. Only Judy can be Judy. Also she is portraying Judy Garland at the end of her life...
@tashspeak38774 жыл бұрын
She's got the physicality of judy nailed and she does have a quality of her voice that COULD be like hers IF she learned how to do the accent properly - singers from Judy's era had a very different accent to american singers today. To me she sounds more like Liza becuase of that. But bang-up job. Didn't see this in London and won't see Judy becuase i have no interest in plotlines that just focus on the 'tragic judy' story that's been done to death.

first of all i wasn't being insulting to Miss Bennett, just saying as a fan, and a LONG time fan, and follow Judy Garland impersonator, Judy was never that hyper. Judy got energy while performing but didn't jump around like a jumping bean, people should do reach when doing a real person, specially Garland, judy Davis and Tammy Blancher did a excellent job as Garland in judy's life story for TV

I have to agree with you about the bouncing. I've seen a lot of Judy Garland on tv from the 60s, and bouncing was one thing she did not do.

When I watch Bennett's Garland, I sometimes wonder if it's just a crappy Katharine Hepburn impression in disguise.
@serpechia13 жыл бұрын
I think this seems a little too.... rehearsed? I think it is good.. It just doesn't seem off the cuff enough to be like Judy. That spontaneous passion is missing for me. Maybe if she had a 5 vodka tonics and someone yelled at her just before hand it would be there-- but she is good. Just... too good-- if that makes any sense at all. hmm. meh.

I'm sure Ms. Bennett is a fantastic performer in her own right -- but as a jaded American, I must state my opinion that she doesn't sound or look anything like Judy Garland.

Worst Judy imitation ever. I saw it in New York. She comes on full force, level ten and remains there throughout. No dynamics at all. Terrible. Judy never growled. Jimmy James is a million times better.
@Dianaemanuel10 жыл бұрын
It's worth remembering that there was only ONE Garland and that nobody is ever going to top her. However, I think Bennett does a great job considering she sings all the songs live and has to cover a great deal emotionally. Jim Bailey is excellent too - but he had a long time to perfect his act.

Wow, that was PAINFUL. Garland's voice was no doubt ragged at times near the end, but never as wobbly and off-key as Bennett. And as ill as Garland was, she was smart enough to never have gone on stage sounding as poorly as this tacky impersonator (who sounds more like Minelli, if anyone)...
