About the Show

"Ingenue" tells the true story of the lifelong friendship between two classic stars of Old Hollywood. Featuring the songs: 'Someone to Care for Me', 'Molly Malone', 'Always', and 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow.'

From the show:

Judy Garland is an icon, loved as Dorothy in Wizard of Oz. But in the 1930s, Deanna Durbin was a much bigger star. A favorite of Roosevelt, Churchill, even Mussolini, her first kiss was front page news in the New York Times. At 27, she turned her back on fame, and left the screen for a life of obscurity in France. Ingenue tells the true tale of the lifelong friendship – and rivalry – of these two great stars of Old Hollywood.

Fringe-level production, Fun songs, Interesting bio, Absorbing

See it if you love old Hollywood. DD's story is fascinating. Limitns of solo show (converstns to the air), but kept lively. Some fun, silly songs.

Don't see it if you want gr singing. Gall said she'd had trouble w/voice wh showed. H'wood system hard on women! DD escaped to Paris w husb/kids. Bare stage

Resonant, Informative, Intelligent, Great singing, Delightful

See it if Solo bio of DD, a fascinating child star & celebrity from the 1940's who quit Hollywood at age 28. Excellent research & operatic vocals.
