Pianist Richard Glazier’s new show, “A Salute to Judy Garland & Friends”, is a tribute to the woman most often called the “World’s Greatest Entertainer.” Glazier will play all the famous Garland songs, including “Over The Rainbow”, “Where Or When”, “The Boy Next Door”, “The Trolley Song” and “The Man That Got Away”, as well as songs made famous by her friends and co-stars Fred Astaire, Gene Kelly and Mickey Rooney. The show will also feature film clips, rare home movies, video tributes and the kind of fascinating stories and inside information that are Glazier’s trademark. Special bonuses include a tribute to Hollywood’s piano superstars, Jose Iturbi and Oscar Levant.

”A Salute to Judy Garland & Friends” is an evening of music, memories and laughter.

With my dear friend Composer Hugh Martin (Composer of Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas, The Trolley Song and The Boy Next Door)

”Two transcriptions by Percy Grainger of Gershwin standards were relaxed, tender and carefully voiced” – The New York Times

”The playing was exceptional, meticulous with detailing and touch, free and easy with pulse” – Los Angeles Times

“Richard Glazier has Gershwin in his soul.” - Michael Feinstein


About the Theatre

George Bernard Shaw would have been proud of this theatre.

Located near the British Library, the Shaw Theatre has hosted the best. From the brash genius of the Broadway musical, to Van Morrison's dynamic fusion of Celtic and contemporary music, to Harry Connick Jr's inimitable New Orleans' jazz.

Sundays at the Shaw are home to some of London's finest classical musicians in the intimate and immediate setting which is the Shaw Theatre.

The Shaw Theatre continues its outreach into the community in association with its producers, ensuring that a new generation of theatre goers have the opportunity to share the unforgettable experience of live theatre, opera and ballet.

'We look forward to you joining us for an evening at London's Shaw Theatre' - Brian Daniels, Chief Executive and Artistic Director
