Ingenue: Deanna Durbin, Judy Garland and the Golden Age of Hollywood

Judy is remarkable, loved as Dorothy in ‘Wizard of Oz’.  But in the 1930s, Deanna was a greater star.  Adored by Roosevelt, Churchill, even Mussolini, she abandoned fame for a life of obscurity.  The true tale of the lifelong friendship – and rivalry – of two Hollywood icons.

                  Ingenue, is a wonderful solo performance by Melanie Gall, following the story of Canadian actress Deanna Durban, how she became a star, her friendship/rivalry with Judy Garland, love affairs and the Golden Age of Hollywood.

                  Although more famous than Judy Garland in the 30s, Deanna Durban has become somewhat of a forgotten star. I am however, very pleased to have learnt about her story, extraordinary talents and influence on the likes of Roosevelt and Churchill.

                  Gall is extremely talented with an outstanding voice that delivers in each song. You’ll get a great combination of history and charm in this musical euphoria!

                  Really loved this show…as a one women show…I felt like I was truly in the life journey of every character…so well done and talented.

                  Until I saw this show I had not heard of Deanna Durbin despite the fact she was one of the biggest stars in Hollywood in the 30’s and 40’s. Melanie Gall does a remarkable job in telling her story and singing a number of songs from that period. I loved the show and only wished it was longer – the hour just flew by. Definitely worth seeing.

                  The beauty and power of Melanie Gall’s voice brought me to tears. I sat in awe as I watched this amazing and passionate performance. This is a talent not to be missed.

                  Tonight’s performance (Monday) left me in awe! Not only is her voice beautiful, Melanie’s telling of the story of Deanna Durbin is compelling. Do not miss this one!

                  First show of Melanie’s for me and it will not be the last. Lovely storytelling and beautiful voice. This is a must see performance.

                  I saw this show the other day, and it was the highlight of my Fringe. The singing was exquisite, the story compelling, and the acting was impressive. Bravo!!
