It’s 1968 and Judy Garland, a once-glittering star, is in London to make her explosive comeback. But off stage, holed up in her hotel room, Judy is battling with her young new fiancé, her devoted accompanist, and her destructive addictions. Will she be able to conquer her demons and reclaim her crown as one of history’s great musical icons? Featuring Garland’s most memorable songs The Man That Got Away, Come Rain Or Come Shine, The Trolley Song and of course Somewhere Over The Rainbow, End of the Rainbow is a fiercely funny and emotionally charged musical play filled with Garland’s legendary tenacity, razor-sharp wit and once-in-a-generation voice.
The production is directed by Daniel Buckroyd and stars Lisa Maxwell (Judy Garland), Gary Wilmot (Anthony) and Sam Attwater as Mickey.
Opening tonight (16 February) at The Mercury Theatre in Colchester the show will tour the UK until July.
