I guess nobody needs telling that a musical called Judy! is about the life of the legendary Judy Garland. This is Ray Rackham’s musical and it comes to the Arts Theatre for a limited season from mid-May only until mid-June 2017.
This musical was originally titled Through The Mill and debuted at the Southwark Playhouse in 2015.
The press has the following to say about this musical:-
“Pierces the heart and raises the roof” – The Times
“Brilliant” – Harper’s Bazaar
“Rackham’s script has an overarching sense of hope and vaudevillian resilience…an unmissable production” – The Stage
“The show reminds us how, in the conflict between a merciless industry and the hunger for love and life, a star is inevitably torn” – Guardian
The story of Judy Garland is amazing, from her first steps on the stage when only a girl, she has won the hearts of fans globally. this uplifting and poignant story shows us how Garland survived in what was very much a “mans world” at the time. Whilst there was heartbreak and tragedy in her life, there was so much more.
The cast includes Helen Sheals, Belinda Wollaston and Lucy Penrose as the three ages of Judy and of course no musical about Judy Garland would be complete with songs such as The Trolley Song, The Man That Got Away, and the classic Over The Rainbow.
We are on sale today with Judy! tickets, which start at just £32.
