With a resplendent 36-piece orchestra, Wainwright’s take on Judy Garland is a stunning, tongue-in-cheek love letter to the chanteuse. After a moving rendition of “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” in the second half of the show, Ann Wilson of Heart joined Wainwright on stage for a stirring duet. Wainwright’s sister Martha also made an appearance later in the set. Catch him tonight, June 17, for round two — the whole Wainwright clan will be in attendance.
