“I was about five years old when I started singing ‘Somewhere over the Rainbow,'” Wainwright said in a statement. “My mom would occasionally wake me up in the middle of the night and make me sing the song to guests to end the party. They would feel so bad that the kid was still up that late at night and leave. Much later, she accompanied me on the piano at Carnegie Hall, the Palladium, the Olympia and the Hollywood Bowl during theshows in 2006 and 2007.
He continued: “It has a deeply personal meaning to me to sing this song. I think my mom and I singing that song together was also her finally acknowledging my homosexuality with which she struggled for a long time. I am sure that similarly to my experience this song means a lot to LGBTQ folks young and old and their struggles with coming out and living a proud queer life.”exclusively via Veeps, priced at $30 for advance tickets and $35 for day-of-show.
