Union Theatre's Finian's Rainbow announces transfer to the Charing Cross Theatre

The Union Theatre's production of Finian's Rainbow is transferring to the Charing Cross Theatre for a six-week season. Phil Willmott's production will open on Thursday 3rd April, running until Saturday 10th May 2014.

Burton Lane (music) and E.Y Harburg's (lyrics) score features the numbers 'Old Devil Moon', 'If This Isn’t Love', 'Look to the Rainbow' and 'How are Things in Glocca Morra?'.

Not performed professionally in the UK since its first West End run in 1947, Finian’s Rainbow is described as an "irresistible candyfloss confection that will send you away looking for rainbows with a song in your heart and a spring in your step".

The cast includes: James Horne (Finian), Christina Bennington (Sharon), Raymond Walsh (Og), Joseph Peters (Woody), Michael J Hayes (Senator Rawkins) and Laura Bella Griffin (Susan). It is choreographed by acclaimed ballroom dance specialist Thomas Michael Voss.

Finian’s Rainbow follows a second extended run of Phil Willmott’s new musical, Lost Boy.
