In searching the internet looking for information on "Beyond the Rainbow" a musical about Judy Garland's life that is premiering at Meadow Brook Theatre in Michigan I found this article.
Is anyone going to this?
I'm intrigued, but what quality of productions does Meadow Brook Theatre put on?
Anyone know?

Posted: 1/2/09 at 9:19amSaw this in Palm Beach about three years ago or so. Didn't think it was going to continue having a life after that. At the time I saw it, it was a very small production with the two actresses playing Judy, two actors playing the men in her life, and one other actress playing her mother and a few other random characters. There was no real set (a unit set and chairs constantly being rearranged), so I'd expect something similar unless they completely reinvented the show.

Posted: 1/2/09 at 7:40pmI've only seen one show there, a Sherlock Holmes mystery about a year ago. It was slightly above average, nothing spectacular even for a professional company. They had a change of management shortly after that (which was actally news on Playbill.com), so I don't know how things have changed in terms of quality.
