END OF THE RAINBOW to Open March 20 at the Ahmanson Theatre
"End of the Rainbow" opens Wednesday, March 20 at 8 p.m. at the Center Theatre Group/Ahmanson Theatre. Peter Quilter's acclaimed new play with music continues through April 21, 2013.
Directed by Tony Award-winning Terry Johnson, the cast features Tony Award-nominated Tracie Bennett and Michael Cumpsty, as well as Erik Heger and Miles Anderson. Set and costume design is by William Dudley, lighting design is by Christopher Akerlind, sound design is by Gareth Owen. The production stage manager is Mark Dobrow.
The setting of "End of the Rainbow" is December 1968, and Judy Garland is about to make her comeback . . . again. In a London hotel room preparing for a series of concerts, with both her new young fiancé and her adoring accompanist, Garland struggles to get "beyond the rainbow" with her signature cocktail of talent, tenacity and razor-sharp wit. This savagely funny drama offers unique insight into the inner conflict that inspired and consumed one of the most beloved figures in American popular culture. "End of the Rainbow" features some of Garland's most memorable songs, performed with the show-stopping gusto for which she will always be remembered.
