Nathan Lee Graham Reimagines A Judy Garland Classic — For A Great Cause
HuffPost
The star of Hulu's “Mid-Century Modern” will be celebrated at the 13th annual “Night of a Thousand Judys,” set to take place June 2 in New York.
Hot off the success of Hulu’s “Mid-Century Modern,” Nathan Lee Graham will kick off LGBTQ+ Pride Month next week with a brief return to the New York stage.
The actor will be a guest of honor at the 13th annual “Night of a Thousand Judys,” set to take place at Joe’s Pub at The Public Theater in New York on Monday, June 2. He’s receiving the second annual Judy Icon Award, which celebrates contributions to queer rights and visibility and is named after Hollywood legend Judy Garland.
Similarly, television and film producer Jeremy Katz will accept the Good Judy Award in recognition of his dedication to “uplifting the LGBTQ+ community.”
“They say one is judged by the company they keep,” Graham, whose credits also include the Reese Witherspoon comedy “Sweet Home Alabama” and Broadway’s “The Wild Party,” told HuffPost. “If this is true, then being associated with the incomparable Judy Garland and [2024 Judy Icon Award recipient] Justin Vivian Bond [means] I’m doing something right!”
To mark the occasion, Graham and the “Night of a Thousand Judys” creative team have released a video of his chilling performance at last year’s event. In it, he performs the classic torch song “Stormy Weather,” which Garland famously crooned at her Carnegie Hall concert in 1961 and on her CBS variety series two years later.
