About this show
Judy Garland Is Fat at Carnegie Hall resurrects the biggest night in show business history as a messy, virtuosic, experimental lip-sync extravaganza. Sixty-five years after Judy’s iconic performance, NYC drag artists Xena Fauxbia and Soda Pressed worship at the altar of a queer icon, examining Judy’s experience to mine their own relationship to hunger and societal fatphobia. It’s a wacky, aching exploration of weighty desire and the absurdity of never quite fitting into "The Costume".

Nobody can possibly be surprised that a show entitled “Judy Garland Is Fat at Carnegie Hall” is silly and in bad taste. What is more surprising is that the show works. I’ve seen it twice now.
— New York Theater. (3 out of 5 stars)
