An addict who no one hires. The story is tragic, even though the audience
without question, he loves his icon.

What a woman, you have to exclaim when Haavisto is dressed in the middle of the stage
from an addict shivering in his underwear to a diva on stage. The change has

strength. On a good day, he shines with lively songs, and on a bad day,
collapses on the stage.

Under Satu Rasila’s direction, the play’s
men – Petja Lähde’s husband and Santeri Kinnunen’s gay pianist.

Still, there is sensitivity in the moments of weakness towards the end, as Kinnunen and

Despite the men in Judy’s life, the set design has the magic of black-and-white films
and so is the incredible Judy.
