Somewhere Under The Rainbow

Biscuits For Breakfast presents Somewhere Under The Rainbow The Liza Minnelli Story Fresh from its sell-out Irish tour, winner of the Eva Gore-Booth Award, for best female performer, Sharon Sexton, single-handedly delivers a compelling portrayal of Ms. Minnelli, in a UK debut of award winning writer, CillianO’Donnachadha’s one woman show, presented by Biscuits for Breakfast.

Set in the intimacy of her dressing room, the audience is invited to step beyond the footlights, and decide for themselves what is truth and illusion. Sharing secrets and stories, she reveals her fascinating career and intriguing personal life, while recounting some of her greatest hits, like you have never heard them sung before.

Somewhere Under the Rainbow charts the illustrious performer’s life, loves and music, as “Liza” steps out from the shadows of her superstar mother, Judy Garland, to establish a substantial career as a performer in her own right. 

 

Celebration of Music

 It is a celebration of her music, and a story of her determination to find success.

“Don’t Listen to anyone who doesn’t know how to dream” Liza Minnelli

The score includes seven of Minnelli’s most notable hits such as, Mein Herr, Some People, Cabaret and Maybe This Time to name but a few! Don’t miss this sensational, unforgettable performance.
