SEE THE PLAY THAT INSPIRED THE HIT FILM ‘JUDY’

A musical drama of Judy Garland's "come-back" concerts Christmas 1968: with a six-week booking at London's Talk of the Town, it looks like Judy Garland is set firmly on the comeback trail. The failed marriages, the suicide attempts and the addictions are all behind her. At forty-six and with new flame Mickey Deans at her side, she seems determined to carry it off and recapture her magic. But lasting happiness always eludes some people, and there was never any answer to the question with which Judy ended every show: "If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow, why, oh, why, can't I?"

Seating

Seats sold by the table, in pairs of two, to maximize social distancing. Guests sit at assigned tables and chairs, similar to a cabaret or dinner theater. (A table for 2 purchase includes admission for 2 patrons.)

Automatic DISCOUNT applied for multiple tables purchased in the same order. Tables purchased in the same checkout will be placed together.

Tables are assigned in advance, based on these 2 criteria… First, our season subscribers will be assigned seats. Then, individual ticket holders, based on the initial time of purchase. You will be shown to your assigned seats on the day of the performance.

INDIVIDUAL SEATING: Individual seats may be available, but cannot be guaranteed for every performance. Due to social distancing and to ensure your safety, we do not sell seats next to an individual party. If a show is likely to sell out, we reserve the right to hold sales of individual seats for maximum socially-distant capacity.

For the safety of yourself and those around you, masks are required to be worn by staff members and patrons at all times within our facility. We encourage you to enjoy refreshments from our bar, however masks are required to remain in place unless actively taking a sip at your designated table only. If you are unable to properly wear a mask (covering both your nose and mouth) for the duration of your visit, we look forward to you joining us once again after masks are no longer a necessary part of our safety measures.
