JUDY [12A] Wed 29 Jan Doors open 7pm for 7.30pm start £6 from Lesley or on the door
Winter 1968 and showbiz legend Judy Garland [Renee Zellweger] arrives in London to perform a five-week sold-out run at The Talk of the Town. It is 30 years since she shot to global stardom in The Wizard of Oz, but if her voice has weakened, its dramatic intensity has only grown. As she prepares for the show, battles with management, charms musicians and reminisces with friends and adoring fans, her wit and warmth shine through. Also features Jessie Buckley, Michael Gambon and Rufus Sewell. But as his star rises, he risks losing Ellie — the one person who always believed in him. With the door between his old life and his new closing, Jack will need to get back to where he once belonged and prove that all you need is love.
