The modern star of the middle of the century reinvents a classic by Judy Garland for a great cause

He warmed the success of the “modern of the mid -century” of Hulu, Nathan Lee Graham will begin the month LGBTQ+ Pride next week with a brief return to the New York stage.

The actor will be a guest of honor in the 13th annual “Night of Thousands”, which will take place at Joe’s Pub in the New York Public Theater on Monday, June 2. He is receiving the second annual prize of Judy Icon Award, which celebrates contributions to queer rights and visibility and is appointed after the Hollywood Legend Judy Garland.

Similarly, television and film producer Jeremy Katz will accept the Good Judy Award in recognition of his dedication to “raise the LGBTQ+” community.

“They say that one is judged by the company they maintain,” said Graham, whose credits also include the Reese Witherspoon comedy “Sweet Home Alabama” and “The Wild Party” of Broadway, to News. “If this is true, then be associated with the incomparable Judy Garland and [2024 Judy Icon Award recipient] Justin Vivian Bond [means] I’m doing something right! “

To commemorate the occasion, Graham and the creative team “Night of a Thousand Judys” have released a video of their chilling performance at last year’s event. In it, he interprets the classic torch song “Stormy Weather”, which Garland crowned in his Carnegie Hall concert in 1961 and in his series of News varieties two years later.
