Tonight we went to the Arvada Center to see the performance of  End of the Rainbow. This is a play/musical (plasical?) about the final years of Judy Garland's life. Since I already knew that she took her own life, I was expecting a Debbie Downer experience. I was wrong. Tari Kelly, the actress who portrays Judy Garland was phenomenal! She not only looked like her but also talked and sang like I remember. You could tell that she really studied Judy's mannerisms and behaviors of an addict. At intermission I asked Don if he was "counting his lucky stars" that I am somewhat normal! I would recommend this play to anyone who appreciates outstanding acting even if it isn't all rosy somewhere over that rainbow!
