Tracey Bennett... there are not enough adjectives to describe this performance. The Judy Garland I know is Dorothy in "The Wizard of Oz". And the writer's were counting on that being the case with most people because they save "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" as the closing song.
I was flooded with memories of watching that movie as a young girl at my Grandmother's house and before I knew it, tears poured and I didn't care to wipe them away. Throughout the duration of the iconic song, my mind was flooded with sweet memories that spilled down my cheeks.
The slow moving show had little action with decent supporting characters, but she could've been on stage alone and I'd have stayed the full 2 1/2 hours! Not to say anything against the rest of the cast, because a leading lady stands taller by those who lift her up, but it was her show!
I'm so so grateful that whenever I'm feeling low, uninspired, defeated... I can grab a $30 ticket to another world that brings me back to what I love! Cheesy? Yes, but go see some theatre and you'll know what I'm talking about!
