"There are moments in the theatre when you lean forward in your seat with shivers racing down the spine, and realize there is nowhere on God's earth you'd rather be. End of the
Rainbow is one such occasion."
-The London Daily Telegraph
Starring Olivier® Award-winner Tracie
Bennett in a bravura performance as Judy Garland, End of the
Rainbow received rave reviews and four Olivier® Award nominations in London. The setting is December 1968, and
Judy Garland is about to make her comeback… again. In a London hotel room preparing for a series of concerts, with both her new young fiancé and her adoring accompanist, Garland struggles to get "beyond the rainbow" with her signature cocktail of talent, tenacity, and razor-sharp wit. This savagely funny drama offers unique insight into the inner conflict that inspired and consumed one of the most beloved figures in American popular culture.
With the accompaniment of a six-piece onstage band, Tracie
Bennett brings alive some of Garland's most memorable and beloved songs, including The Man That Got Away, Come Rain Or Come Shine, The Trolley Song and of course, Somewhere Over The Rainbow. In addition to these songs, the album includes other Garland favorites such as Zing Went The
Strings Of My Heart, San Francisco and When The Sun Comes Out.
End of the
Rainbow recently played a triumphant run in London's West End. Prior to Broadway, End of the
Rainbow was performed at the Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis from January 28 through March 11.
