Stage: Must-see theatre for Judy Garland fans

A hit in the West End and on Broadway, End Of The Rainbow returns to Theatre Royal Brighton by popular demand.
It’s 1968 and Garland, a once-glittering star, is in London to make her explosive comeback. But off stage, holed up in her hotel room, Judy is battling with her young new fiancé, her devoted accompanist, and her destructive addictions. Will she be able to conquer her demons and reclaim her crown as one of history’s great musical icons? Featuring Garland’s most memorable songs The Man That Got Away, Come Rain Or Come Shine, The Trolley Song and of course Somewhere Over The Rainbow, End Of The Rainbow is a fiercely funny and emotionally charged musical play filled with Garland’s legendary tenacity, razor-sharp wit and once-in-a-generation voice.

Lisa Maxwell plays Judy Garland. Lisa is an actress and television presenter, best known for her role as Samantha Nixon in ITV’s The Bill, and as a panelist on ITV’s Loose Women from 2009–2014. Other television credits include EastEnders, The Russ Abbot Show and The Lisa Maxwell Show.
