“A DAUGHTER HOLDS GARLAND LEGACY ALOFT …
THE SHOW IS A MASTERCLASS IN CONSTRUCTION …
LUFT BLESSED WITH A VOICE THE SIZE OF CAESER’S PALACE…”

John Shand   Sydney Morning Herald

A lovingly staged multimedia extravaganza melding one of the most familiar songbooks with intensely personal, often hilarious memories plus private photos and video footage of Lorna’s mother; the legendary Judy Garland.

New musical arrangements of Garland’s classic orchestrations ensure that this rich tapestry of songs are given the illustrious and deferential treatment they deserve with a ten piece band made up of some of Australia’s best musicians. Lorna brings unmatched emotion to many of her mother’s signature songs including Come Rain or Come Shine, The Man That Got Away, Rock-A-Bye Your Baby with a Dixie Melody accentuated with touching and humorous memories.

The show features never before seen footage and photos plus dozens of tunes from some of Garland’s most popular films: The Wizard Of Oz, Easter Parade, Meet Me In St. Louis and A Star Is Born.



Lorna began her career at age sixteen with her mum at the PALACE THEATRE in New York and has flourished ever since. She has starred on Broadway in many musicals and appeared in many popular television shows.  In film she is best remembered as Pink Lady “Paulette” in the camp classic Grease 2.  In 2007 she appeared with Rufus Wainwright at his tribute concerts to Judy Garland in New York, London, Paris and Hollywood.
