Rufus and Milwaukee at Last

If you made it to Rufus Wainwright’s Release the Stars tour, not only were you treated to some great music but one hell of an ode to Judy Garland.

Milwaukee at Last is the second recording of one of Wainwright’s live performances and includes him singing some of his greatest songs, as well as a drag act where he dresses up like Garland in A Star is Born and lip-syncs to himself singing “Come On Get Happy.”

It’s sheer delight for any Rufus fan, homo with a Broadway thang, or any friend of Dorothy.
