Seth Sikes and Friends Celebrate Judy Garland’s 103rd Birthday, feat. Alysha Umphress & more!
June 10, 2025
Seth Sikes returns to 54 Below with special guest stars to salute Judy Garland, the most iconic of all icons, on her 103rd birthday. Sikes and friends will perform many of the show-stopping standards for which Judy is known, from MGM to Carnegie Hall & beyond! Sikes’s Garland tribute shows have earned two BroadwayWorld Awards and The New York Times said, “The performance — less an impression of Ms. Garland than an interpretation of her method of belting – was a hit with audiences and critics alike.” He has performed tributes at 54 Below to Liza Minnelli, Bernadette Peters, and Barbra Streisand, and has been touring in his duo show, The New Belters, with Nicolas King.
On this celebratory birthday evening, Sikes will partner with an array of talent to perform some of Judy’s duets which are instantly recognized and some guests will belt out their own versions of Judy’s best-loved standards. He will appear with a full seven-piece band. Music direction by Phil Reno.
