Review: Finian's Rainbow at the Union Theatre



Finian's Rainbow
Union Theatre
Reviewed on Friday 14th February 2014


Finian's Rainbow is a bizarre yet delightful piece of theatre. To put it simply, the show is about an Irish immigrant, pursued by a leprechaun, hoping to grow gold in the soil around Fort Knox whilst finding a husband for his daughter. Finian's Rainbow is a show bursting with energy, talent and smiling faces.
