International City Theatre kicks off its 30th Anniversary Season with Peter Quilter’s savagely funny, tour de force musical drama about the final days of Judy Garland’s life. It’s Christmas 1968, and Judy is shacked up in London’s Ritz Hotel with fiancé number five, Mickey Deans and her loyal friend and pianist, Anthony. A whirlwind success in her youth, the years have been unkind, and Garland is clutching at the straw she thinks will save her career and bring in some much-needed cash: a six-week run of cabaret shows at London’s Talk of the Town nightclub.

International City Theatre kicks off its 30th Anniversary Season with Peter Quilter’s savagely funny, tour de force musical drama about the final days of Judy Garland’s life. It’s Christmas 1968, and Judy is shacked up in London’s Ritz Hotel with fiancé number five, Mickey Deans and her loyal friend and pianist, Anthony. A whirlwind success in her youth, the years have been unkind, and Garland is clutching at the straw she thinks will save her career and bring in some much-needed cash: a six-week run of cabaret shows at London’s Talk of the Town nightclub. Featuring some of Garland’s most memorable songs including “The Man That Got Away,” “Come Rain Or Come Shine,” “The Trolley Song” and, of course, “Somewhere Over The Rainbow,” End of the Rainbow paints a warts-and-all picture of the beloved but tortured musical icon, her strained relationships with men, her struggle to stay in the spotlight and the pill habit that would claim her life.
“End of the Rainbow is not a traditional stage biography,” wrote Quilter in an article. “It’s not full of facts and flashbacks, it’s not the story and minute detail of an entire life. Instead, we focus on just one short period of six weeks. A snapshot of a life, a look at what was happening to this remarkable woman during a fascinating, dangerous, compelling time when her career, money troubles, search for love, addictions and hopes all seemed to come crashing together.”
End of the Rainbow runs Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m., Feb. 20 through March 15. Two preview performances take place on Wednesday, Feb. 18 and Thursday, Feb. 19 at 8 p.m. Tickets are $46 on Thursdays and Fridays, and $48 on Saturdays and Sundays, except opening night (Feb. 20), for which tickets are $54 and include a post-performance reception with the actors, and previews which are $34. International City Theatre is located in the Long Beach Performing Arts Center at 300 E. Ocean Blvd. in Long Beach, CA 90802. For reservations and information, call the ICT Box Office at 562-436-4610 or www.InternationalCityTheatre.org.
