"...features more than 20 of Garland's classic songs and stories of her life. With (Angela) Ingersoll's exceptional vocal abilities (and a terrific six-piece orchestra) beautifully paying homage to Garland's signature singing style, it's a wonderful tribute to this exceptional performer....Ingersoll has clearly spent countless hours not only appearing as Garland in End of the Rainbow but also researching her life and she brings that dedication and devotion to ensure this concert is a fairly thorough document of Judy's life. While some of Garland's lowest moments are included, Ingersoll also makes sure the focus of the piece is on the lasting legacy of Garland and the sheer amount of joy her film, stage, and recording performances have given to so many fans over the years...."   -Gil Benbrook, Talkin' Broadway (click here to read the complete review)

"...If Garland can’t be with us, Ingersoll gets most of her vocal magic and captures most of her stage sparkle.  In some songs, Ingersoll is right-on but in other songs where she may lack a bit of Garland’s special something, Ingersoll makes every Garland song a special treat because the performer is a fabulous entertainer...." -Chris Curcio, Curtain Up Phoenix (click here to read the complete review)
