Through unforgettable music and heartfelt storytelling, acclaimed performer Jenna Pastuszek celebrates two of America's most beloved artists. The first act explores Judy Garland's extraordinary gift for reaching out. The second explores Barbra Streisand's unwavering commitment to leaning in. Interwoven throughout the evening are the songs, stories, and moments that connect Judy and Barbra—from their iconic 1963 appearance together on The Judy Garland Show to timeless songs that each woman made unmistakably her own.
Blending beloved classics and hidden musical gems with heart, humor, history, and harmony, The Original American Idols celebrates what it really means to be an idol. After all, Judy and Barbra taught America that there's only one way to become one: By being yourself.

There’s nothing I love more than traveling to new places to celebrate these legends, honoring them, never imitating them. Get Happy, People, and The Original American Idols can each be performed with piano only, a trio, or a 6-piece band with horns. Ready to bring Judy and Babs to your theatre, venue, or cruise?
