FINIAN’S RAINBOW
February 23, 2009 - Alex Theatre
March 1, 2009 - Scherr Forum, Thousand Oaks
Music by Burton Lane
Lyrics by E. Y. Harburg
Book by E. Y. Harburg and Fred Saidy
One of the greatest Broadway scores ever, with a strong Irish
tinge
and echoes of the deep South, FINIAN’S RAINBOW
received two awards at
the very first Tony’s ®. Both political
satire and romance, the songs
are a veritable parade of “hits”, including “How Are Things in Glocca
Mora”, “Look to the
Rainbow”, “Old Devil Moon”, and “When I’m Not
Near the
Girl I Love. Said Sean O’Casey, “It is a fairy-story with
bite
in it – and many a dear kiss as well”.
