Joan’s March 2023 “Get Happy! A Judy Garland Celebration” concert with the Pops Orchestra of Bradenton and Sarasota and Maestra Robyn Bell was recently reviewed on BroadwayWorld.com:
“[Joan] had the chops to deliver sweet lulling songs as well as boastful big tunes. Even her beautiful ball gowns displayed the look we came to know as Judy Garland - off-the-shoulder, sparkling bright colors and mid-calf elegance. It was obvious justice was done in this tribute captured with a great deal of research, love, respect, and pure passion to get it right. Well done Ms. Ellison, Judy would have been proud.”
