Today i went into Brisbane to the Playhouse Theatre on the South Bank to watch a show called End of the Rainbow by Peter Quilter and starring award winning Actress Christen O`Leary as Judy Garland, this Tony and Olivier Award Nominated production has been all over the World in the last three years London, New York and I been in these places and never got to see it, so when I seen it advertised a few weeks ago I thought no excusses this time I am going to go... I am so glad I did, it was one of the most amazing pieces of Theatre Ive seen in a long time, 'its 1968, Londonand Judy Garland is about to make her comeback once more...determined to reclaim her crown as the greatest talent of her generation she battles with a tornado of drugs and alcohol and a gruelling schedule of exhusting concerts at the talk of the town
despite a series of failed marriages, Judy has her lastest and youngest husband to be, Mickey Deans, by her side a man as determined as she that, at any cost, these concerts will mark the revival of her career.
this extrodinary production is thrilling, hilarious, moving and tragic it features a live band and 12 of Judys most memorable songs with of course Over the Rainbow being the closing scene and one of the most un forgetable exits to a show ive ever seen!
Go and see it if you ever get the chance you will not be disapointed, i promise, thank you
