A Star Is Born – The Rise & Fall of Judy Garland
Judy Garland took to the stage at age 2, landed a movie contract at 12, won an Academy Award at 17, and impacted the music and movie industry for generations to come. She died aged 47. How did one of Hollywood’s brightest stars dim so fast?
In the multi award-winning show, “A Star is Born – the rise and fall of Judy Garland” Kerry Hiles, accompanied by Evan Perkins, shines the light on Judy Garland, the undisputed queen of cabaret. This entertaining and sophisticated work features well-loved classics like “That’s Entertainment”, “I Got Rhythm” and (obviously!) “Over The Rainbow”. In addition, the performance also showcases some of Garland’s iconic numbers such as “The Trolley Song” and “The Man That Got Away”, as well as some lesser-known surprise numbers that have delighted audiences: look out for “Hoe Down” and “If You Feel Like Singing, Sing”, among others.
