Finian's Rainbow, Starring Melissa Errico, Extends Irish Repertory Theatre Run

An extension has been announced for the Irish Repertory Theatre's new revival of the classic musical Finian's Rainbow, starring Tony nominee Melissa Errico. Originally set to close December 18, the production will now run through December 31. Artistic director Charlotte Moore stages the production, which began previews on October 26 and opened on November 6.

Errico is joined by Ryan Silverman (Passion) as Woody, Mark Evans (Ghost) as Og, Ken Jennings (Sweeney Todd) as Finian, William Bellamy as a Gospeleer, Kimberly Doreen Burns as Lilly Mae, Dewey Caddell as Senator, Peyton Crim as Sheriff, Matt Gibson as Buzz Collins, Angela Grovey as Sallyann, Ramone Owens as a Gospeleer, Kyle Taylor Parker as a Gospeleer, and Lyrica Woodruff as Susan the Silent. Errico and Silverman costarred in Classic Stage Company's 2013 revival of Passion.

Errico, who starred in the Irish Rep's 2004 production of the Burton Lane-E.Y. Harburg-Fred Saidy tuner, reprises her performance as Sharon, which she returned to earlier this year in a benefit concert for the company.

The production has choreography by Barry McNabb, scenic design by James Morgan, costume design by David Toser, lighting design by Mary Jo Dondlinger, musical supervision by John Bell, and dialect coaching by Stephen Gabis.
