THEATER REVIEW
Skies are blue for Uptown Players’ ‘End of the Rainbow’ By Shari Goldstein Stern shari@katytrailweekly.com
Judy Garland was, no doubt an enigma, and that’s precisely how Janelle Lutz portrayed her on opening night of Peter Quilter’s “End of the Rainbow” at Uptown Players. Garland’s story has been legendary for decades, and yet, we still can’t get enough of it. Set on Christmas 1968, in a suite at London’s Ritz Carlton Hotel, Garland is adamant the accommodations don’t meet her standards. What she was complaining about, however, was an exquisite set designed by Claire Floyd Devries that might have stolen the first scene. With its sparkling chandeliers, decadent furnishings and window treatments, it felt like an elegant hotel suite with a girly touch. The only set changes were seamless, to a stage on which the singer struggled to make her comeback under a brightly lit “Judy” marquee. The first time the set

changed, a curtain arose on the band, which had been playing while hidden above the stage. Under Adam C. Wright’s musical direction, the band was also a star. Jason Foster’s lighting design was effective with quick-change moods. In 1941, David Rose became the first in the chain of Garland’s failed marriages; followed by Vincente Minnelli, Sidney Luft and Mark Heron. On June 22, 1969, her fifth husband, Mickey Deans, only a few months into the marriage, found her dead on a bathroom floor. She was 47. Depicting a life full of disappointments, botched marriages, addictions and a huge dose of angst, Janelle Lutz owned the character of Judy Garland with the finesse of someone much older and more experienced. In what could otherwise have been overdone, she incorporated Garland’s unique speech patterns tastefully. Lutz and skillful direction by see RAINBOW on page 11
