It's ironic that the little girl who personified the innocence of childhood as she followed her yellow brick road, had no such life. In reality, she was the product of the Hollywood merchandising machine. Aided by her own mother who kept forcing pills down her throat at the age of 14, the studios squeezed her for everything they could and spit her out at the end, a pill addicted alcoholic singer who scratched out a living until her eventual overdose at the age of 48. No matter how hard she tried, she never found her Kansas.
This production take you inside the life of Judy Garland a few short months before her death when she was doing her final performance in London. The story revolves around her relationship with soon-to-be husband #5 and her long-time friend and pianist who has joined her for her latest come back tour.
Both the music and the acting were outstanding in this production. If can get to New York and can get tickets, you won't be disappointed.
Location:The Belasco Theatre
