Peter Quilter’s End Of The Rainbow captures the drama of Judy Garland’s final performances in London and her controversial life off stage.

Set in London in 1968, End Of The Rainbow depicts Garland as she undertakes an exhausting series of concerts in a bid to reclaim her crown as the greatest talent of her generation. Despite a series of failed marriages and a ruined Hollywood career, Garland remains a tough and remarkable woman, armed with a sharp wit and a real understanding of the demons that possess her. Yet within six months she will be dead at the age of 47, her body wrecked by the legendary amounts of drink and drugs she had been consuming since a teenager.

Among the soundtrack, End Of The Rainbow features classic Garland songs The Man That Got Away, Come Rain Or Shine and Somewhere Over The Rainbow.

End Of The Rainbow stars Laurence Olivier Award-winner Tracie Bennett as Garland. Bennett’s numerous West End credits include La Cage Aux Folles, Hairspray, Les Miserables and High Society. She will once again be directed by Terry Johnson, who directed her in La Cage Aux Folles, for which he won a Tony Award.
