Ray Rackhams extraordinary biographical musical about the life of iconic movie star and chanteuse Judy Garland comes to the Arts Theatre for a limited season. This highly anticipated production sees Judy back in town following a critically acclaimed Southwark Playhouse 2015 debut (original title, Through The Mill). PIERCES THE HEART AND RAISES THE ROOF. Times Since her first tentative steps on the stage as a young girl, Judy has become an enduring icon to millions of fans of all generations around the world. BRILLIANT Harpers Bazaar Ray Rackham has created a poignant and ultimately uplifting story portraying the star as a survivor in a mans world. Using three ages of Judy, he shows that her life was more than heartbreak and self-destruction. The stories of Young Judy (an innocent girl filled with hope and excitement as she heads toward her life-changing performance in The Wizard of Oz), Palace Theatre Judy (a woman at the height of her performing powers in the midst of a passionate romance with Sidney Luft) and CBS Judy (an older and possibly wiser woman) demonstrate that no matter how hard we look for love in all the wrong places, the answer is ultimately inside ourselves.
