Lorna Luft's musical tribute to her mother, Judy Garland.

"The time has come for a celebration of my mother's musical legacy, This is a real labor of love."

This lovingly staged theatrical extravaganza melds one of America‘s most familiar songbooks with the intensely personal, often riotously funny story of a mother and her daughter. For the first time, Lorna approaches her mother's legendary songbook and the result is a truly phenomenal celebration of Judy Garland's musical genius.

Winner: 'Best World Premiere Musical' and 'Best Musical Direction' - Los Angeles Ovation Awards

Songs My Mother Taught Me features new musical arrangements of Judy Garland’s classic orchestrations and is written and directed by the Emmy winning team of Mitzie and Ken Welch. The show also pays homage to some of the composers, performers and pals who were part of Judy Garland‘s life including Harold Arlen, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr.
