Rufus! Rufus! Rufus! Does Judy! Judy! Judy!: Live from the London Palladium is a DVD by the
Canadian-American singer-songwriter
Rufus Wainwright, released under
Geffen Records in December 2007.[1] The film consists of live recordings from his sold-out February 25, 2007, tribute concert at the
London Palladium to the legendary American actress and singer
Judy Garland. The DVD complements the release of Wainwright's
Grammy Award-nominated
double album, Rufus Does Judy at Carnegie Hall,[2] which contains the same songs from Garland's well-known 1961 album, Judy at Carnegie Hall. The DVD also includes several songs not included on Wainwright's album release.
Due to popular demand, Wainwright's tribute was performed a total of six times. After tickets for the first show (June 14, 2006, at Carnegie Hall in New York City) sold out, a second show was added at the same venue for the following night (June 15). Increased demand resulted in three concerts in Europe: February 18, 2007, at the
London Palladium in London, February 20 at
L'Olympia in Paris, and February 25 once again at the London Palladium.[3][4] The final performance was on September 23, 2007, at the
Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, California.[5]
