NEW MUSICAL CHASING RAINBOWS The Road to Oz BEGINS FRIDAY

Discover the inspirational, heartbreaking, uplifting, emotional and joyous story of Judy Garland form age five to sixteen, culminating when the girl is cast – against all odds – as Dorothy Gale in MGM’s technicolor film version of “The Wizard of Oz”. This Friday, Sept. 16 the new musical opens at The Goodspeed 6 Main Street, Route 82 East Haddam, Connecticut. Curtain time is 8:00pm.

An awkward girl with a golden voice blossoms into Judy Garland in the inspirational new musical about the bumpy road to "Oz." The future superstar's complicated childhood comes alive with heartbreak, hope and the music that made her famous. "I Can't Give You Anything But Love," "You Made Me Love You" and "Over the Rainbow" sweeten the story of Judy striving to hold onto her family. A love letter to gifted underdogs who reach high—and how the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true.
