star-spangled salute to the movie
music of Mickey Rooney & Judy Garland, top box office stars of Hollywood’s
Golden Era. The show takes a tuneful
and nostalgic look at their classic MGM
films, including Girl Crazy, Babes in
Arms, Strike Up the Band, and Babes on
Broadway, and salutes their reunion years
later on CBS television. Mickey & Judy’s
silver screen songbook includes classics
by the Gershwins, Rodgers & Hart and
Harold Arlen & Yip Harburgh, featuring
unforgettable songs such as “Embraceable You,” “Our Love Affair,” “Where
or When,” “I Wish I Were in Love
Again,” and “I Got Rhythm,” among
many others. Audiences have responded
with standing ovations for this musical
tribute to two legendary performers and
the songs they sang, from their talented
teens to their full-throttled prime.
JEFF HARNAR is familiar to television
audiences for his acclaimed PBS specials,
“The 1959 Broadway Songbook” and “Remember: Songs of the Holidays” (co-starring
KT Sullivan). On A&E he was the Singing
Narrator of “Gershwin on Ice” starring Dorothy Hamill. Jeff appeared at Carnegie Hall
in both the Cole Porter and Noel Coward
Centennial Galas, as well as in his own one-man show at Carnegie’s
Weill Recital Hall.
SHAUNA HICKS starred on Broadway in
the Tony-nominated role of Linda in Blood
Brothers opposite David and Shaun Cassidy
with Petula Clarke, Carole King and Helen
Reddy. Other Broadway credits include Meet
Me in St. Louis where she understudied the
Garland role, and the Broadway tour of How
to Succeed in Business, where she won the Florida Carbonell award and a Chicago Jeff Award nomination for her
performance as Rosemary.
