WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Chad Kimball, Kerry O'Malley, and Kevin Kern star in a concert adaptation of the romantic musical satire, Finian's Rainbow, presented by The Irish Repertory Theatre. Irish Rep Artistic Director Charlotte Moore adapted and directed the 1947 Yip Harburg-Fred Saidy-Burton Lane show for a benefit concert in 2003, and a version of that script is heard in this extended run. Moore once again directs.
