There's no place like Friday Night Is Music Night as we celebrate the music of one of the world's best loved icons, Judy Garland. Through a career that spanned 45 of her 47 years, Judy Garland attained international stardom as an actress in musical and dramatic roles, as a recording artist and on the concert stage. It's 40 years since Judy Garland died and in the year that also sees the 70th anniversary of the release of The Wizard Of Oz, who better to lead the celebrations of Judy's life and music than her daughter, Broadway star Lorna Luft. Joining Lorna on stage is an array of stars from the world of musical theatre - Linzi Hateley, Frances Ruffelle and John Barrowman - plus the 70 piece BBC Concert Orchestra, conducted by Mike Dixon. Lorna Luft & Friends Celebrate The Music Of Judy Garland was recorded at London's Mermaid Theatre.
