Photo Flash: THROUGH THE MILL Opens Tonight at London Theatre Workshop

Left, check out the three actresses sharing the role of Judy Garland in the world premiere of THROUGH THE MILL!

THROUGH THE MILL chronicles the turbulent life of the legendary singer, her rise from teenager to MGM movie star, from "has-been" to concert hall darling and her short-lived career as a TV personality. On film, on stage or in people's living rooms every Sunday evening, Garland was, and continues to be, one of the biggest stars of Hollywood's golden age. As conflicted as she was celebrated, THROUGH THE MILL gives the audience an opportunity to go beyond the rainbow and witness the life of a woman destined for greatness, one who is as loved today as she was when she made her way along the yellow brick road.

Lucy Penrose, Belinda Wollaston and Helen Sheals have been cast to play Judy Garland in three different stages of her life in THROUGH THE MILL, a new play featuring a hit list of Garland greatest standards, by Ray Rackham.

THROUGH THE MILL, a new play featuring a hit list of Garland greatest standards, by Ray Rackham, will get its world premiere in a three-week season at London Theatre Workshop from today 1 December - Saturday 19 December.m.
