Beyond The Story Presents:

              “A Judy Garland Christmas”

               Behind the scenes of the making of Judy's famous TV Christmas show.

 

​

This five episode audio drama takes us behind the scenes of Judy Garland’s 1963 TV Christmas show. We are at the dress rehearsal, just hours before the live taping. Judy’s estranged husband, Sid Luft, is threatening to take her young kids Lorna and Joey away from her, at the same time James Aubrey, the President of CBS, is on the brink of canceling her television series if the Christmas show flops. Everything is suddenly thrown into chaos when all of the guests cancel at the last minute. Judy must inspire moody, 17-year-old Liza Minnelli; second banana Mel Torme; Gerald, the insecure Judy-impressionist Audience Coordinator; and fight off all the men trying to control her life and her art, if she is to save the show, and Christmas, for everyone.
