VIP Meet & Greet
The VIP Meet & Greet with Judy Garland (Janelle) will take place in the theater, beginning 1 hour and 15 minutes before showtime (lobby opens 15 minutes prior). Check in with our usher at the theater doors to enjoy photo opportunities, autographs, and to pick up your complimentary drink coupon (redeemable pre-show or at intermission). Meet & Greet access wraps up 35 minutes before showtime as general house doors open, but late arrivals can still collect their drink coupons at the box office.
BONUS SHOW ADD ON to the Uptown Players' 25th Anniversary Season. Acclaimed performer Janelle Farias Sando returns in Road to Carnegie: Me, Judy & Myself. Featuring beloved Judy Garland classics, heartfelt storytelling, and unforgettable performances, this intimate theatrical event plays for two performances only on November 7–8, 2026, at the Kalita Humphreys Theater.
Written and Conceived by Janelle Farias Sando
Following her acclaimed performances as Judy Garland in The Boy From Oz and End of the Rainbow, Janelle Farias Sando returns to Uptown Players for an unforgettable theatrical event.
Road to Carnegie: Me, Judy & Myself is an intimate evening of music and storytelling inspired by Judy Garland's legendary 1961 Carnegie Hall concert—widely considered one of the greatest live performances in entertainment history. Rather than recreating that historic evening, Sando shares her own personal journey as an artist, weaving together humor, honesty, and heartfelt memories with the timeless songs that helped shape her career.
Audiences will enjoy beloved classics including Over the Rainbow, The Trolley Song, The Man That Got Away, Stormy Weather, and Come Rain or Come Shine as Sando celebrates Garland's enduring legacy while revealing the woman behind the performer.
Presented as a special bonus event during Uptown Players' 25th Anniversary Season, Road to Carnegie: Me, Judy & Myself is a moving celebration of resilience, authenticity, and the transformative power of live theatre.
