Pulling back the curtain on Hollywood's sweetheart and revealing a life lived under the relentless gaze of fame, End of the Rainbow charts the final chapter of Judy Garland's life.
End of the Rainbow made its debut in the West End in 2010, where it played for 6 months and obtained four Olivier Award nominations. It has had subsequent productions around the world and has toured the UK twice.
Jinkx Monsoon (Hera Lilith Hoffer) is an award-winning actress, comedian, recording artist and the first and only drag queen to win RuPaul’s Drag Race twice. She's made a career on Broadway, including performances in Oh, Mary!, Chicago and Little Shop of Horrors.
Directed by Rupert Hands, the show will feature musical supervision by Leo Munby, lighting by Prema Mehta, and sound by Tony Gayle.
End of the Rainbow will play at Soho Theatre Walthamstow from 15 May - 21 June 2026.
