Presented by State Theatre Company South Australia in association with Adelaide Cabaret Festival
By Peter Quilter
Judy Garland, her fifth husband and manager, Mickey Deans, and her longtime accompanist, Anthony, check into The Ritz Hotel in London. With her reputation in tatters, Judy prepares for a five-week run of shows at London’s Talk of the Town nightclub.
