A lie isn't a lie when it tells THE TRUTH.
THE NEWS HACK'S CREED, No. 3:
I've come to realize that the looseness of the journalistic life, the seeming laxity of the newsroom, is an illusion. Yes, there's informality and there's humor, but beneath the surface lies something deadly serious. It is a code. Sometimes the code is not even written down, but it is deeply believed in. And, when violated, it is enforced with tribal ferocity.

Stage and screen legend Judy Garland fills Carnegie Hall anew as singer-songwriter Rufus Wainwright performs her celebrated 1961 concert at the same venue, with the help of Sam Mendes and Stephen Oremus.
Musical director Oremus, of Broadway’s Wicked, Avenue Q and All Shook Up [!!!!!!!!!! --ED.], has worked with the singer to bring the show back to life in its entirety, June 14 and 15 at Carnegie's Isaac Stern Auditorium. Jared Geller and David J. Foster produce. Mendes (Cabaret, Gypsy) is also involved with the event.
Complete with a 40-piece orchestra, Wainwright recreates the original April 23, 1961, concert she performed at the height of her late career. "The greatest single night in show business,” as it was called, featured Garland singing 26 standards, show stoppers and songs from her films. Wainwright performs his own interpretations of the songs — not mimicking Garland — over the same orchestrations.
1. Rufus Who? 2. Shouldn't it AT LEAST have a female impersonator?
