In addition, the exuberant musical "Fela!" will return for a limited engagement as a bonus option to the season subscription.

IT'S DECEMBER 1968 AND JUDY GARLAND is poised to make a triumphant comeback… again. In a London hotel room with her young new fianceé ('a perfectly cast Tom Pelphrey' New York Times) and trusted pianist ('a wonderful Michael Cumpsty' New York Times) 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. END OF THE RAINBOW is now playing - buy tickets today and save!
If energy and physical commitment equaled craft and technique, Tracie Bennett's performance as Judy Garland in End Of The Rainbow might be considered one of the great triumphs of the season. But Peter Quilter's flimsy play offers her little in the way of support and director Terry Johnson has her playing more highly strung caricature than character, reducing the enterprise to little more than an endurance test for those at both sides of the footlights.

With the opening of O FIM DO ARCO IRIS ( End Of the Rainbow), in Rio de Janeiro, with the author Peter Quilter in the audience, Moeller and Botelho put once more in a higher level the Brazilian Musical Theatre, this time with the help of Claudia Netto (of '‘Company', 'Avenue Q' and ‘The King And I' fame), as Judy Garland. Claudia give us, for sure, the greatest musical and dramatic performance of a Brazilian actress in this new century.
Del 8 al 11 de Septiembre, el Arriaga acoge la gira de 'Al Final del Arco Iris' con Natalia Dicenta, en el papel de Judy Garland, Miguel Rellán y Javier Mora. La obra, que refleja los últimos meses de vida de la malograda actriz y cantante, se estrenó el 21 de Enero en el Teatro Marquina de Madrid.
Written by Peter Quilter directed by Daniel Pasker, Glorious! is the story of the joyful Florence Foster Jenkins, who had a passion for singing, but a voice of disastrous proportions which left audiences crying with laughter.
