A JUDY GARLAND CHRISTMAS Audio Drama Announced Starring Tari Kelly & More

An original fiction audio drama that explores the story beyond the story that you thought you knew about, "The Judy Garland Christmas Show".

An all-star Broadway cast has assembled to bring to life the music, the excitement, the drama of Judy Garland!

This five-episode audio drama takes us behind the scenes of Judy Garland's 1963 TV Christmas show. We are at the dress rehearsal, just hours before the live taping. Judy's estranged husband, Sid Luft, is threatening to take her young kids, Lorna and Joey away from her; at the same time James Aubrey, the President of CBS, is on the brink of canceling her television series if the Christmas show flops. Everything is suddenly thrown into chaos when all of the guests cancel at the last minute. Judy must rally moody, 17-year-old Liza Minnelli; second banana Mel Torme; and Gerald, the insecure Judy-impressionist Audience Coordinator if she is to save the show, and Christmas, for everyone.
