Judy Strikes Back

Overview

On screen, she followed the yellow brick road. Off screen, her life was littered with tragedy. Judy Garland's story is one filled with as many highs as lows, and littered with both darkness and rainbows — and now she's going to tell it.

Well, Bernadette Meenach is, in the guise of Ms Garland. In Judy Strikes Back, the deceased performer has written her memoirs in the afterlife, and wants to share them with the masses.

So begins a show that breathes new life into the Garland legend. Nothing is off limits, as she comes clean about those nasty rumours and Hollywood hallucinations, and spills the beans on everything from making The Wizard of Oz to mothering Liza Minnelli — we hope. Reuniting with her musical director Mort Lindsey means that she'll be belting out many a tune, too. Expect a few favourite songs, as well as some new numbers she’s been working on from beyond the grave, in this all-singing, all-dancing comic tribute.
