Flat Rock Playhouse presents a new musical about an immensely talented underdog with the soul of a poet and the personality of a pep squad.
Performances of Chasing Rainbows: The Road to Oz continue through December 19th. Ticket prices begin at $15 per seat.
In this musical, an overweight and insecure “hunchback” beat the odds and emerged a star as she donned the famed ruby slippers and stepped onto the set of what is arguably one of the greatest movies of all time. This teenager was Judy Garland. Developed at The Johnny Mercer Writers Colony at Goodspeed Musicals, the score of Chasing Rainbows features such beloved Hollywood hits as Over the Rainbow, I Can’t Give You Anything but Love, and Broadway Rhythm, but also captures the heart-gripping emotional drama by re-conceiving the music in a revelatory, contemporary sound.
Flat Rock Playhouse is proud to have been chosen as the developmental house for this production of Chasing Rainbows. And they are thrilled to be presenting it to you in this exciting new world premiere.
