The New York Times proclaims “WATCHING TRACIE BENNETT’S ELECTRIFYING INTERPRETATION OF JUDY GARLAND, YOU FEEL UTTERLY ALIVE. That’s what comes from witnessing acting that is this unconditionally committed, not to mention this SENSATIONAL — IN EVERY SENSE OF THE WORD.” And Time Magazine raves, “AS MUCH AS YOU WILL HEAR ABOUT TRACIE BENNETT’S EXTRAORDINARY PERFORMANCE, SHE SURPASSES IT” in PETER QUILTER’S emotional powerhouse of a show, END OF THE RAINBOW, directed by Tony Award® winner TERRY JOHNSON (La Cage aux Folles). IT’S DECEMBER 1968 AND JUDY GARLAND is poised to make a triumphant comeback… again. In a London hotel room with her young fiancé (“a perfectly cast Tom Pelphrey” NY Times) and trusted pianist (2012 Tony-nominated Michael Cumpsty) at her side, Garland prepares to undertake a series of concerts at London’s famed Talk of the Town with her signature cocktail of talent, tenacity and razor-sharp wit, revealing the most brilliant star in her most demanding role: her life.
2012 Tony-nominated Best Actress, TRACIE BENNETT, delivers the most celebrated performance of the year, bringing alive some of Garland’s most memorable and beloved songs with the accompaniment of a sensational onstage band, including “THE MAN THAT GOT AWAY,” “COME RAIN OR SHINE,” “THE TROLLEY SONG” and “SOMEWHERE OVER THE RAINBOW.”
