The show is executive produced by Michael Feinstein and Liza Minnelli. Tickets are now on sale at . Feinstein's at the Taper is part of Center Theatre Group's 2024 CTG:FWD programming. 

RAINBOW: The New JUDY GARLAND Musical is the breathtaking culmination of over three decades of research, performance, and a lifetime love for one of the world's most iconic performers, Judy Garland. Making its West Coast premiere, the show, which was originally performed at Feinstein's club in New York during the Garland Centennial in December 2021, stars Feinstein as he travels through the life and songs of Judy Garland.

This multimedia live show features big screen film clips, rarely heard and seen audio recordings and photos, good humor, and great music. Executive produced by Ms. Garland's daughter, Liza Minnelli, and her closest friend and collaborator, multi-platinum-selling, two-time Emmy and five-time Grammy Award nominee, Michael Feinstein, this event at the Mark Taper Forum is different. It is an unabashed musical biography that celebrates Judy, sharing insights from the music we all adore and the life known only by the endless, shining, forever love shared with her children, Liza, Lorna and Joey Luft.

I wouldn’t get too excited. He did some version of this at the WALLIS in Los Angeles a few months ago. There’s a power presentation feel to the whole thing… and nothing new of interest .The whole thing is weird. I’m glad they’re getting some good use for the Mark Taper while it goes through changes.
