I'M STILL HERE

A MUSICAL CELEBRATION
Starring DEBBIE WILEMAN as JUDY GARLAND
Musical Direction by Ron Abel

It's the celebration of one of the Greatest Performers of our time starring overnight internet sensation, Debbie Wileman, in an uncanny recreation of the sound of Judy Garland! Wileman has gained over 1 million online views for her spot-on recreation of Judy Garland and she is now, direct from London, onstage to dazzle Judy's fans as well as her new followers.
Fresh off her newest album release, "I'm Still Here" orchestrated, conducted, & produced by Steve Orich, orchestrator of the Grammy Award Winning album, Jersey Boys, Debbie commands the stage – all with a live orchestra, conducted by Ron Abel. She features the famous hit songs from Judy's illustrious career, and, as an added treat, she sings songs of today (from Lady Gaga & Adele to Amy Winehouse & The Beatles, and more) that Judy would sing if she were with us today. It's a once-in-a-lifetime evening you won't want to miss.

READ ALL ABOUT IT ...

"I'M STILL HERE" CD

“I had the pleasure of listening to Debbie Wileman’s homage to Judy. All I can say is Judy would have loved Debbie. She has captured Judy’s musical essence along with her love of lyrics. This is a beautiful tribute to the late, great Judy Garland.”
--Carol Burnett

“I didn’t realize how much I would have loved to hear Judy Garland sing “Defying Gravity” until Debbie Wileman and Steve Orich made it possible!”
--Stephen Schwartz


 AMBASSADORS THEATRE | LONDON'S WEST END (2024)

★★★★★
STAGE TO PAGE
"From the first bars of music, we get to see Debbie as Judy, and it only takes a few seconds to be lost in this illusion."
 
★★★★★
LONDON LIVING LARGE
"It's a great marriage of two outstanding talents, and Wileman's interpretations have something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue. If you get the chance to fly over the rainbow with Debbie Wileman, don't miss it."
 
★★★★★
FIRST NIGHT MAGAZINE
"How much can you fall for somebody who just pretends to be somebody else, as much as that is the key of acting? Well, if tribute acts have standards to look up to, this one has soared way above."
 
★★★★
LONDONTHEATRE1
"Debbie Wileman doesn’t just do covers of songs made famous by Judy Garland – amongst her repertoire were songs that Garland never recorded. But imagine if she had sung a song or two by The Beatles, or Amy Winehouse? The result is very enjoyable, and while nobody did Winehouse like Winehouse, hearing ‘Back to Black’ in the style of Garland was a unique experience."
 
★★★★
ADVENTURES IN THEATRELAND
"Wileman has a truly wonderful, down to earth nature, that immediately puts the audience at ease, and made it feel like she was performing to her friends and family, rather than a theatre full of strangers, making it a wonderful evening for all. "
 
★★★★
THE REVIEWS HUB
"Her ability to mimic Garland is quite astounding, but what’s impressive is that she does so without it becoming a parody and by maintaining (and in some instances enhancing) the emotional power of the original songs."

 GSCENE MAGAZINE
"Debbie IS Judy. Not a tribute; not an impersonation – she inhabits the body, soul and voice of that great gay icon. She literally is Miss Garland."
 
★★★
NORTH WEST END
"Finishing on one final grand performance, ‘Somewhere over the Rainbow’ of course, where we say goodbye to Debbie as she very emotionally thanks everyone who has helped her get here today. She very much represents what the talent industry needs to take more chances on, people who possess raw talent that must be seen."

Debbie Wileman - Judy Album and Concert Quote & Reviews

“I had the pleasure of listening to Debbie Wileman’s homage to Judy. All I can say is Judy would have loved Debbie. She has captured Judy’s musical essence along with her love of lyrics. This is a beautiful tribute to the late, great Judy Garland.”

--Carol Burnett

“I didn’t realize how much I would have loved to hear Judy Garland sing “Defying Gravity” until Debbie Wileman and Steve Orich made it possible!”
--Stephen Schwartz

“It is an absolute thrill getting to hear Judy Garland sing "I'm Still Here" with little lyric changes that make the story being told very germane to Judy (fans familiar with Garland's history will love it) and Wileman's vocal prowess is mind-blowing, not just the sound of Garland, but the basic technique that allows for wide open sounds resonating through her instrument and power notes impressive enough to make a person jealous.”
“The lady is a marvel.”

--Stephen Mosher
Broadway World, June 16, 2022

“Happy 100th Birthday Judy Garland! starring Debbie Wileman on Saturday, June 25 at Zankel Hall was a much-anticipated concert, which didn’t disappoint. The sold-out audience gave Wileman repeated standing ovations throughout the performance--a concert of nearly two hours.”
--Nightlife Exchange, June 30, 2022

“Last night at Carnegie Hall British singing actress Debbie Wileman made her New York City debut. The joint was, most definitely, jumpin' as the fans of the internet sensation flooded all three levels of seating, where they did not remain seated because there were repeated standing ovations throughout the performance. Wileman and her band were treated to some eight or nine ovations throughout the nearly two-hour concert, each one rightly deserved.”
--Stephen Mosher
Broadway World, June 26, 2022

“Impressive as her homemade videos are, seeing her in person is even more remarkable. The strong-voiced Wileman is quite the phenomenon, summoning Garland better than any impressionist I’ve ever seen. And with plenty of stage presence of her own.”
--Forbes on Films & Footlights, June 29, 2022

“The adulation of the crowd last night was a show unto itself, as each and every number was met with thunderous response after thunderous response. It is difficult to convey in print the almost eerie fascination of the evening. Wileman's talent is so prodigious that it made the experience difficult to wrap one's head around. Whether it was songs by Winehouse, The Beatles, Patsy Cline (Crazy), Jerry Herman, OR tunes so familiar to Judy fans that they felt like coming home, Debbie Wileman transcended the arts of impression, imitation, or recreation and elevated it all to an illusion so complete and full that it brought tears and cheers, and all of them well deserved.”
“5 out of 5 Rainbows”
--Bobby Patrick
Broadway World, June 26, 2022

“I was watching a unique performer from England named Debbie Wileman meticulously recreate the sound and physicality of Judy Garland. Debbie Wileman performs the Garland songbook and persona to perfection... a larger than life Judy Garland, with the cheers and standing ovations from an audience that seemed to be imported from back to the future.”
--Stephen Sorokoff
