Rain or Shine: The Judy Garland Story

By Kerrie Anne Greenland

A production by Kerrie Anne Greenland in association with HIT Productions & CHE Touring.

This production will present the Australian Premiere and feature Helpmann award winning performer Kerrie Anne Greenland (Les Miserables) in the title role.

Between 1963 and 1967 Judy Garland sat in her lounge room recording what she hoped would be turned into her revealing, heartfelt autobiography. It never made it to print. Based on these recordings, interviews and stories from her show, Rain or Shine takes the audience on the journey of Frances Ethel Gumm, or as the world “knew” her, Judy Garland.

The production features well known repertoire such as Come Rain Or Come Shine, Over the Rainbow, The Man That Got AwayThat’s EntertainmentYou Made Me Love YouGet Happy and The Trolley Song.

Fan of Judy Garland, Kerrie Anne Greenland began her music theatre career in 2014 as Eponine in the acclaimed Australian production of Les Miserables. She received rave reviews and was awarded the aforementioned prestigious Helpmann for her portrayal of the beloved character, which she continued with through the Asian tour. Other recent adventures for this Australian musical theatre star include the role of Violet Hilton (one of the famous Siamese Twins) in SideShow at the Hayes Theatre Sydney, Cassandra in the Jon English musical Paris: A Rock Odyssey, and  her self- penned production of Pictures: Songs from Movie Musicals.  In 2018 she played the role of Patsy Cline in the  national tour of HIT’s perennial favourite Always …Patsy Cline.
