Re: Chasing Rainbows: The Road to Oz
Another rave review from Critics At Large. Congrats to Ruby!
http://www.criticsatlarge.ca/2016/10/ju ... s.html?m=1Ruby 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.

Re: Chasing Rainbows: The Road to Oz
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.

Re: Chasing Rainbows: The Road to Oz
"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.

Re: Chasing Rainbows: The Road to Oz
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.

Re: Chasing Rainbows: The Road to Oz
Sounds like Chasing Rainbows and especially Ruby Rakos has impressed the critics:
https://www.broadwayworld.com/article/R ... S-20191009
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.
