In 1964, hot on the heels of a historic comeback concert at Carnegie Hall and the triumph of producing a successful weekly variety television series for CBS, Judy Garland decided the time had come to finally write her memoirs.
Encouraged by her publisher to put her thoughts and memories on tape to be transcribed later, the recordings Garland made alone at home revealed a deeply pained woman largely unknown to the public; The legend was eager to not only set the record straight about her storied career and troubled family life, but to also settle old scores with incendiary recriminations and a litany of untold truths about every person who had ever wronged her.
Faithfully adapted from these long-lost private recordings, performer Jason Powell brings Judy’s actual spoken words to a live and intimate audience, unadorned by spectacle or artifice, presented as honestly as they escaped from Garland’s own mouth more than 50 years ago.
