Judy      Well, you know, I don’t really sing for myself. I do it for other people. And the minute the public don’t want me to sing – then, that will be the end.

Radio Interviewer      A day, I’m sure, that will never come. And for those unlucky enough not to see Judy Garland at the Talk of the Town, here’s a couple of tracks from your wonderful recordings. Each of them a classic, to ensure that you will live for ever.

Judy      Well, you know, immortality would be very nice … Yes, I’d like that … Immortality might just make up for everything …

Blackout on the Radio Interviewer, who exits. The spotlight now rises fully on Judy. She begins to sing, with Anthony (dimly lit in the distance) accompanying her at the piano.

SONG
‘SOMEWHERE OVER THE RAINBOW’

She begins at the lyric ‘Some day I’ll wish upon a star’.

During the section of the song that is music only (no lyrics), a light rises on Mickey, watching her. She looks at him and then at Anthony. Then lights fade out on both men, so that only Judy is lit. She sings the final part of the song. The play-out music for the song is played by the full band, building to a crescendo. The spotlight closes in tightly on Judy’s face, as the music ends. Blackout.

Curtain.
