“We’re not trying to project perfect versions of ourselves. Michael and I are pretty warts-and-all as performers and I think people can relate. We don’t take ourselves too seriously. But I think people will appreciate that underneath the jokes (there is) gratitude that you have someone to stand next to in life and have someone to get through it with.”

“The only thing better than listening to a great classic record that we love is hearing music that we know, and love, live,” Ingersoll said. “There’s nothing like live music. To be able to create a live music experience for music that people feel so nostalgic about is a great honor.”
With much gratitude, Angela Ingersoll joins a great tradition of artists named Los Angeles Times Woman of the Year in Theatre.

“I could not believe the overwhelming audience to this thing that I created … I looked out and made a wish on a star and said ‘I want to dedicate my life to being the foremost interpreter of Judy Garland’s legacy in the world.’ Ever since I said that out loud, looking at that star that night, my life has been nothing but green lights.”

“To me, an impersonator is intentionally trying to fool someone,” she said, “and that’s not what I’m about. This is not an impressionist-style tribute act. Judy has influenced me my entire life. The illusion that I embody her in concert is simply me sharing my love of her. I get lost in the music and stop paying attention to where I stop and where she starts. I’m holding her in my mind’s eye and experiencing her music live in the moment, and what comes out often makes people feel like they’ve seen her live in concert… People see all the Judy they want to see.”
“Welcome to the world of Angela Ingersoll, a multitalented performer with a knack for capturing Ms. Garland to the finest detail and nuance… Like most professional artists, Ingersoll continues to refine her craft and to explore other performers she admires. The result is a talented singer and performer with an impressive range who is equally comfortable in her own skin and when developing a character. All that said there is no denying that she’s a drop-dead gorgeous ringer for Garland at her peak.”
