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

“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
