Rebecca Perry Productions FROM JUDY TO BETTE: THE STARS OF OLD HOLLYWOOD Winterton • Gunness • Worlaby It’s the 1930s, movies are being made Perry has a gorgeous jazz voice, capable faster than you can say MGM, and of Cole Porter-esque perkiness and being made to make you feel good. soulful richness. Budgets are increasing and the studios Expertly weaving stories, songs, and are making pictures bigger and bigger. impressions, Perry once again shows off Within the industry, four women emerge her knack for making everyone forget who refuse to be “just another ingénue”. that they’re watching a one-woman Judy Garland, Betty Hutton, Lucille show. Ball and Bette Davis each made their own strides to make women a more prominent and powerful force in Hollywood – they were trailblazers during the golden age of cinema. An evening of scandalous headlines and marvellous melodies. Critically-acclaimed Toronto performer Rebecca Perry takes to the stage to look at the lives of the ladies who broke convention and started something bigger, perhaps, than even they knew. With this affecting show, Perry shows that she not only creates her own marvellous characters, but beautifully inhabits those characters – perhaps even larger still than her own – that inspire her. Audience: All ages, but seems particularly popular with age 40+ www.rebeccaperry.ca Perry doesn’t do impersonations … she channels the women. Perry’s performance is nothing short of stunning … connecting with the audience and never losing us for a second.
