at Her Majesty’s Theatre in Melbourne this Sunday. Lorna’s final
show will be at The Civic Theatre in Newcastle on 16<sup>th</sup> June. <o:p></o:p></p>

and tremendous humour has taught me heaps, ah the biz we call show! <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Do not miss Lorna if you haven’t caught her, I include

<p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;
margin-left:9.75pt'><span lang=EN style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";
color:black'>Two years ago Lorna Luft stopped shying away from her mother's
songs, and confronted them. Head on. How else could you do it, when your mother
is Judy Garland?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;
margin-left:9.75pt'><span lang=EN style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";
color:black'>The result, <i>Songs My Mother Taught Me</i>, is a strutting,
swaggering rampage through the Garland repertoire, strewn with anecdotes and
splattered with a few tears.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;
margin-left:9.75pt'><span lang=EN style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";
color:black'>The show is a masterclass in construction: in contouring the song
sequence, in making scripted patter sound spontaneous, in integrating patter
and songs and, above all, in slick musical direction, courtesy of Luft's
husband, Colin Freeman.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;
margin-left:9.75pt'><span lang=EN style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";
color:black'>None of that would count had Luft not been blessed with a voice
the size of Caesar's Palace, and, as genetics would have it, not dissimilar to
her mother's. Performing these songs it is neither a very subtle nor an
especially moving instrument, but it blasts across an 11-piece band with a
vibrato as wide as a freeway, making her the very model of the genus known as
"belter", and the very definition of chutzpah.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;
margin-left:9.75pt'><span lang=EN style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";
color:black'>That's those genes at work again. And in case you missed the
connection, Judy routinely appears on a big screen, including singing to a
young Lorna at the outset. Garland had made 39 movies by the time she was 37, a
freakish statistic when combined with the myriad live shows and radio
broadcasts. Luft, who was only 16 when she lost her mother, tells what it's
like to forever run into her in greeting-card shops and on television.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;
margin-left:9.75pt'><span lang=EN style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";
color:black'>She duetted with her mother on a medley including <i>I Can't Give
You Anything But Love</i>, and then gave a squalling <i>Chicago</i>, with the
locally assembled band pin-sharp and sounding twice its size in a flawless
Recital Hall sound-mix.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
