⭐ JINKX MONSOON TO STAR AS JUDY GARLAND IN END OF THE RAINBOW ⭐
The London return of Peter Quilter’s END OF THE RAINBOW has been announced.
Lambert Jackson with Sean Nyberg & Paul Danforth and Pascal Productions are delighted to announce Jinkx Monsoon as Judy Garland in a strictly limited run of END OF THE RAINBOW, at Soho Theatre Walthamstow from May 2026.
London, 1968. At the legendary Talk of the Town, Garland readies herself for a series of concerts that will both captivate and haunt. The world adores her, yet behind the glittering spotlight lies a fierce struggle for control, survival, and the relentless drive to perform at whatever the cost.
Blending the voice, the sparkle, the chaos, and some of Garland’s most unforgettable songs, END OF THE RAINBOW is a theatrical depiction of Judy Garland in the final chapter of her life. Pulling back the curtain on Hollywood’s sweetheart and revealing a life lived under the relentless gaze of fame, where every triumph and heartbreak is played out in technicolour. Witness and celebrate Garland’s extraordinary talent, resilience, and the human story behind the legend in a performance that will stay with you long after the lights go down.
Jinkx Monsoon said: “Judy Garland came into my life, like many, through entertainment, but she stays in my life because of her story. We know all too well the toll that fame took from her. Looking back, we can see more clearly the many factors that played a part in her storied life. I know people know me for impressions and imitation, but I’m thrilled for this chance to explore beyond the laughter and into the heart of why we still think so much about Judy today. Her tale is one that we can’t forget, especially as women in entertainment are still fighting for autonomy and agency in their own careers. I’m ready to bring new aspects of her story to the stage, and to share what I find so tragically beautiful about her life, with my UK audiences.”
END OF THE RAINBOW is directed by Rupert Hands with musical supervision by Leo Munby, lighting by Prema Mehta and sound by Tony Gayle.
END OF THE RAINBOW will play Soho Theatre Walthamstow, running from 15th May – 21st June 2026.
