Link: Beyond the Rainbow : Garland at Carnegie Hall

Synopsis

History Theatre classic with all-new return engagement!

by William Randall Beard
directed by Ron Peluso
musical arrangements & direction by David Lohman

1961. When Judy Garland took to the stage at Carnegie Hall for her legendary comeback concert, "the house was packed with adoring fans of one of America's most beloved singers and entertainers. This stirring musical tribute truly tells Judy's story from her childhood in Grand Rapids, Minnesota to Hollywood and "beyond the rainbow."
Beyond the Rainbow has played in more than 25 regional theaters across the nation, and now History Theatre will revisit and refresh this History Theatre Classic with a few new twists, including a sparkling pair of "young Judys" and a couple more of Garland's greatest hits and choreography from some of her most famous movies. IVEY Award-winner Jody Briskey returns as Garland, along with Peter Moore, Norah Long & Cathy Fuller who will be joined by a handful of bright young newcomers!

“The story of my life is in my music.” – Judy Garland
