Joining Bennett will be Cumpsty (The Constant Wife, Democracy) as Garland's accompanist, Anthony, with Emmy winner Pelphrey ("Guiding Light") as her husband, Mickey Deans, and Russell (Our Town, The Play What I Wrote) in a variety of roles.

Prior to their Broadway arrival, the American cast of End of the Rainbow will first play Minneapoliss Guthrie Theater Jan. 28-March 11, 2012.

According to the producers, "End of the Rainbow is set in December 1968 and Judy Garland is about to make her comeback... again. In a London hotel room preparing for a series of concerts, with both her new young fianc and her adoring accompanist, Garland struggles to get 'beyond the rainbow' with her signature cocktail of talent, tenacity, and razor-sharp wit. This savagely funny drama offers unique insight into the inner conflict that inspired and consumed one of the most beloved figures in American popular culture. End of the Rainbow features some of Garlands most memorable songs, performed with the show-stopping gusto for which she will always be remembered."

Bennett previously worked with Johnson in the London revival of La Cage aux Folles. She earned Olivier Awards for her performances as Velma Von Tussle in Hairspray and as Ilona Ritter She Loves Me. Her stage credits also include Les Miserables and Cash On Delivery. Numerous screen appearances include "Vincent," "The Long Firm," "Heroes and Villains," "Next of Kin," "Coronation Street," "Going Out," "Shirley Valentine," "Knights and Emeralds" and "Deep Red Instant Love."

Your Search for Best SEO Company Ends Here

One of the first questions companies noodle through when hiring an SEO practitioner is where SEO should reside.This is nowhere truer than in organizations that are hiring an SEO for the first time.

A couple of things determine these decisions as to where SEOs reside: One is budget for head count and the other and the most important factor: Ownership of site (who is responsible for the corporate website).

Before we go into listing all the areas within a company where an in-house SEO should reside, lets get some definitions out of the way.

As mentioned earlier there are many polarizing opinions as to where the best place in the organization for an in-house SEO to reside.Let's consider the most likely options and some of the things to watch out for.

It can seem confusing at first as to why SEO should be part of a companys IT infrastructure group. The rationale behind this is since they have ownership of site from an infrastructure point of view then it would serve best if SEO is part of this group.

Also, as this group is about technology and ensuring the site is working well it seems like a logical place for SEOs to be, correct? Not necessarily. Often the first mistake is letting infrastructure group decide the fate of marketing your site.

If you place SEO in this group then the marketing aspect of SEO will be lost and you may have employee turnover on your hands. Plus, SEO will be fighting battles with marketing and other groups to get SEO changes pushed through whereas it should be the other way around where SEO is fighting battles with the infrastructure group.

Depending on the size of your company, many tend to have a separate Design & Development team. Now, it also depends on the influence of this team as to whether they have ownership of the site or solely operate as an agency within the company.

If the site ownership falls under their purview then chances are SEO could be part of this group. Placing SEO in this group seems to be natural since SEO is all about making changes to the site.

A few SEOs report to this group and it's honestly always puzzling as to why. Many companies still view website as a communications platform hence the corporate communications team end up with website responsibility. The inclusion of SEO here is flawed in so many ways in my opinion as they would be cut off from the main functions like marketing, development, and other teams.

RUSKIN

Shrouded in a black garbage bag, the 67-year-old film projector sits in a corner of the small booth.

Last weekend, it played its final film at the Ruskin Family Drive-In.

A new machine, humming with life, is in line to take over. The digital projector has all the bells and whistles the film version lacked, and a hefty price tag to go with it.

Owners Ted and Karen Freiwald estimate the transition to digital will cost about $150,000. After raising a small percentage of that on their own, they are now borrowing from a private lender.

It's a risk for the one-screen theater built in 1952, but a necessary one. By 2013, production companies plan to stop distributing movies on film. Digital will soon be a theater's only choice.

"We had to do it," Karen Freiwald said. "You've got to do what you've got to do."

It's a decision many small theater and drive-in owners struggle with these days. Some are raising money, others are taking on debt and some may be forced to shut down.

By borrowing, the Freiwalds hope they have secured the drive-in's future for years to come. The Ruskin drive-in is one of only seven in the entire state, according to drive-ins.com, a website that monitors the outdoor movie business.

After a weeklong installation, the Freiwalds will reopen their drive-in today to present their first digital movie.
