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.
