It was daring, nervy, and nearly sacrilegious, but Rufus Wainwright pulled it off. Re-creating, song by song, Judy Garlands famed 1961 Carnegie Hall show: one of the most legendary of classic showbiz performances, Wainwright brought his own special magic to the famed stage, reaffirming his status as a contemporary icon while paying loving tribute to his muse. This exuberant and affecting show was captured on DVD, complete with all 27 songs, including such Garland signature numbers as "The Man That Got Away," "After You've Gone," "Do It Again," and, of course, "Over the Rainbow".
