Another rave review from Critics At Large. Congrats to Ruby!
Ruby Rakos is so good as the teenage Judy Garland, née Frances Gumm, in the new musical Chasing Rainbows: The Road to Oz that she alone justifies the trip to see the production at the Goodspeed Opera House.

Chasing Rainbows will have three private industry lab performances next week in NYC. This is often one of the steps before a production is green-lighted for Broadway. Ruby Rakos again has the lead. MATT LENZ (Director) should be a familiar name to those who saw the BETM production at the Maltz Jupiter Theatre in 2005.

"Chasing Rainbows" will have yet another industry reading tonight, January 10. Ruby still stars, but many of the other cast and creative team have changed.

Ruby Rakos (who played Tracey Atkinson in Broadway’s Billy Elliot as kid) will again play Judy Garland in the Paper Mill Playhouse production this September-October. This article has links to a few videos of Ruby singing Judy.

Sounds like
Chasing Rainbows and especially Ruby Rakos has impressed the critics:
https://www.broadwayworld.com/article/R ... S-20191009
with strong acting performances - particularly by Ruby Rakos, who is stunningly good as Garland -
If there is one aspect of this production worth celebrating, it is Rakos's stellar voice.
