Lorna Luft - Songs My Mother Taught Me
After recent appearances at The Arts Centre, Lorna Luft, daughter of Judy Garland, is returning to Melbourne and Her Majesty's Theatre for one presentation only of this very personal tribute to an entertainment legend. Songs My Mother Taught Me is a lovingly staged, multimedia extravaganza melding one of the most familiar songbooks with intensely personal, often hilarious memories plus private photos and video footage of Lorna’s mother, the incomparable Judy Garland.
Lorna Luft, an international stage and cabaret star in her own right, uses her considerable talents and electrifying stage presence to deliver iconic songs and tell a heartfelt story that only she could share. New musical arrangements of Garland’s classic orchestrations ensure that this rich tapestry of songs are given the illustrious and deferential treatment they deserve with a ten piece band made up of some of Australia’s best musicians.
