 In 1964, legendary entertainer Judy Garland came to Australia and experienced the triumph and tragedy that epitomised her life.

In Sydney, Garland was in full flight, her performances thrilling the 10,000-strong capacity crowds. The critics raved. In Melbourne, her Festival Hall event was a disaster. Alcohol, fatigue and a lifetime of personal problems had taken a heavy toll. She arrived 70 minutes late, and could not win over her restless audience.

In Judy Australia 1964, operatic contralto Liane Keegan becomes the iconic star, and takes us on a journey that recreates one of the most controversial episodes in Australian entertainment history.  Backed by a seven-piece showband, Keegan is spellbinding as she performs many of the most loved of Garland’s songs, written by some of the great composers of the 20th century.
