“What do you get when you mix an internationally acclaimed impersonator, outrageous comedy, great standards and a bevy of icons? The hysterical parody of Judy Garland and her guests found in Michael Holmes’ riotous, “The Judy Show!” – Encore Magazine
After a year’s absence and another sold out summer on the East Coast and Europe, Michael Holmes is delighted to bring his award winning production of The Judy Show back home to Saugatuck’s Red Barn Theater for one night only – Friday, September 16 @ 8:00 PM.
Michael Holmes is well known as one of the country’s most sought after impersonator-comedians and cabaret performers appearing from Maui to Marseilles and everywhere in between. Dubbed “Don Rickles in drag,” by Palm Springs Desert Sun Newspaper, Holmes impressions of famous divas are dead on and hysterical in his self produced production of “The Judy Show” in which he appears as Judy Garland and all of her guests. With a wide vocal range, explosive comedy and a killer wardrobe, Holmes has risen to the top of his profession impersonating Bette Davis, Carol Channing, Pearl Bailey, Peggy Lee, Mae West, Billie Holiday, Katherine Hepburn, Tallulah Bankhead and more.
In addition to the show Holmes will be releasing his remastered Judy Show CD and his new jazz standard CD Shall We… at The Red Barn event.

Reserved tickets for “The Judy Show!” are $20 and available in advance by calling The Red Barn Box Office (269) 857.5300. The Red Barn is located one quarter mile east of exit 41 on I196, the corner of Blue Star Highway and 63rd Street.
