Finian's Rainbow December 6, 2009

'Finian's Rainbow' features a lush score of beloved standards and a whimsical story that dances between romance, political satire and fairy tale. Finian McLonergan has emigrated from Ireland to the town of Rainbow Valley in the mythical state of Missitucky with his daughter Sharon, intent on burying a stolen pot of gold near Fort Knox, in the mistaken belief it will grow and multiply. Hot on their heels is Og, a leprechaun intent on recovering his treasure, before the loss of it turns him permanently human. Complicating matters are a corrupt, bigoted senator and the wishes unknowingly made by those in the vicinity of the hidden crock.
