Debbie Wileman, the British singing sensation known for her uncanny recreation of Judy Garland’s legendary voice, is set to make her West End debut. The highly anticipated show, Judy Garland I’m Still Here, will take place on Sunday, 30 June 2024, at the Ambassadors Theatre in London.
Wileman first captured worldwide attention during the global pandemic with her viral impersonation videos of iconic singers like Shirley Bassey, Marilyn Monroe, Julie Andrews, Billie Holliday, and Judy Garland. Her daily Facebook series, “A Song A Day,” garnered millions of views and earned her the 2020 BroadwayWorld Audience Award for Vocalist of the Year.
Following her online success, Wileman embarked on a multi-city U.S. tour to celebrate what would have been Judy Garland’s 100th birthday. She performed to sold-out crowds and received standing ovations in cities such as Ft. Lauderdale, Orlando, Los Angeles, Provincetown, and New York City’s iconic Carnegie Hall. Her performance at Carnegie Hall earned her the BroadwayWorld Award for Best Solo Special Event.
The I’m Still Here album, a tribute to Garland, was conducted and produced by Steve Orich, the orchestrator of the Grammy Award-winning Jersey Boys album. The album received praise from Broadway legends like Stephen Schwartz and Carol Burnett and won the 2022 BroadwayWorld Award for Best Independent Recording.
Steve Orich, a renowned composer, arranger, and orchestrator, brings over 40 years of experience in film, television, theatre, and recording to the production. His orchestrations have been performed by prestigious ensembles such as the National Symphony and the Boston Pops.
The show is produced by Scott Stander, who has over 20 years of experience producing concerts and theatre attractions. Stander’s notable productions include the Rocky Horror Picture Show Spectacular Tour and Judy Garland’s We Need A Little Christmas at Carnegie Hall.
