Memory Collection
Whenever I walk back up the stairs after waiting on line at the ladies room at the Academy of Music, I glance at the framed photograph of Judy Garland and Liza Minnelli that hangs at the top. I don’t know why it is there, I just love to look at it and imagine that they appeared in a play together at the Academy.
The Academy has been renovated recently and when I went to the Signature Sounds 20th anniversary shows, I got to see the beautiful new seats and the refurbished salmon walls and gold trim (apparently the original colors). I worried though that Judy and Liza would be gone. In the lobby, there is a plaque describing a picture that is no longer there. But Judy and Liza remain (as does the life size Bogie in the outer lobby).
Not sure what the wallpaper is meant to be – Fall leaves? Flowers?
While this close up has misleading reflections (Liza isn’t really holding anything) I think you can see why I think it is such a great photo.
