Direct from its sold out London run and a limited engagement at the Guthrie Theater. Olivier Award Winner Tracie Bennett gives what critics have raved is nothing short of “the performance of a lifetime” in PETER QUILTER's highly acclaimed END OF THE RAINBOW. This emotional powerhouse of a show, directed by Tony Award® winner TERRY JOHNSON (La Cage aux Folles) , now sets its sights on Broadway with MICHAEL CUMPSTY, TOM PELPHREY and JAY RUSSELL joining MS. BENNETT in this North American premiere.

It's December 1968 and Judy Garland is poised to make a triumphant comeback… again. In a London hotel room with her young new fiancé (PELPHREY) and trusted pianist (CUMPSTY) at her side, Garland prepares to undertake a series of concerts at London’s famed Talk of the Town in an attempt to reclaim her crown as the greatest talent of her generation. This savagely funny drama shows Garland facing the challenge with her signature cocktail of talent, tenacity and razor-sharp wit, revealing the most brilliant star in her most demanding role: her life.
