Peter Quilter's End of the Rainbow starring Tracie Bennett as Judy Garland today extends its West End run again as Bennett is nominated for the 2011 Laurence Olivier Award for Best Actress.

Following 5 star reviews for Tracie Bennett's performance as Judy Garland, Peter Quilter's End of the Rainbow will extend its West End run taking bookings at the Trafalgar Studios until 16 April 2011.

Directed by Terry Johnson, End of the Rainbow combines humour and heartbreak to capture both the drama of Garland's final performances in London and her controversial life off stage. End of the Rainbow, which opened in Northampton in February last year, transferred to the West End in November where it has been receiving standing ovations at every performance since opening night.
