Night of a Thousand Judys honors the late entertainment icon Judy Garland with songs from her career as a movie star, recording artist, and stage performer. Peter James Cook directed the evening with choreography by Jason Wise and musical direction by Drew Wutke.

Nathan Lee Graham—the Grammy- and Obie-winning star of Mid-Century Modern, Theater Camp, and Priscilla Queen of the Dessert—received the second annual Judy Icon Award, which recognizes the recipient’s contributions to queer culture and achievement of legendary status, following in the footsteps of namesake Garland.

Jeremy Katz, the Emmy- and GLAAD Award-winning producer and manager, was also celebrated with the inaugural Good Judy Award, which recognizes an industry leader for longtime dedication to uplifting the LGBTQ+ community.

Sayre said in an earlier statement, “We are under attack. Every day, the LGBTQ+ community is the target of this bully regime’s sick denial of our very personhood. All the strides that we’ve made in the almost 60 years since Stonewall are slowly being chipped away. So what can we do in the face of so much hate? We can do what we have always done: Be defiantly brave and celebrate all that makes us special. At this time, a celebration of the heroic spirit of Judy Garland is more important, and supporting places like The Ali Forney Center, which supports homeless LGBTQ+ kids. As hospitals, even in New York, start denying them gender affirming care, as the federal government starts denying their gender identity, we as a community have to come together and show these fascists just how out, proud, and powerful we can be. Judy did this over and over. When people counted her out, she’d make another comeback, showing up bigger and brighter than ever. It’s time for a comeback for our power, our defiance, and our strength. But don’t call it a comeback. We’ve been here all the time, and we’re not going anywhere.�
