Featured & Upcoming Events In Hong Kong
Sweet and Sour Productions’ New Play Spotlights Judy Garland
Sweet and Sour Productions is staging Over The Rainbow, Under Ethel: The Story of Judy Garland and her Mother, a new dark comedy by Candice Moore that digs into the complicated bond between the woman who pushed the star into the spotlight, while featuring iconic songs from Garland’s Hollywood classics. Rather than another straightforward tribute to Garland’s career, the play looks at the relationship behind the fame — the ambition, the pressure and, perhaps most ominously, the price of stardom. It’s the kind of intimate, character-driven storytelling Sweet and Sour has built a reputation for on Hong Kong’s independent theatre scene.
