End of the Rainbow

Stages Repertory Theatre presents the regional premiere of End of the Rainbow, by Peter Quilter. Running March 02 – April 10 2016. DIRECTED BY Kenn McLaughlin.

Stages favorite Carolyn Johnson stars as Judy Garland in a savagely funny and deeply moving portrait of the beloved American star.

Showcasing Garland’s indomitable talent and wit, this musical drama captures the majesty of her fearless performances against the backdrop of her troubled life offstage.

The Stages production of End of the Rainbow marks the Houston premiere of the acclaimed play. Originally produced in Sydney at the Sydney Opera House in 2005, the play was later mounted in London (2010) and made it’s American premiere in 2012 at the Guthrie Theatre in Minneapolis, prior to its Broadway run at the Belasco Theatre.

Tracie Bennett was nominated for a Tony Award for her performance as Judy Garland. Houston and Stages favorite Carolyn Johnson will step into the iconic role for the Stages production.
