THEATRE Productions Limited presents the ninth sensationalUKtour of Over The Rainbow: The Eva Cassidy Story bringing the show to Swansea Grand Theatre on Tuesday, January 31.
Since its first performance in 2004, this compelling musical play has received rapturous receptions, garnered five-star reviews and inspired cathartic outpourings of emotion.
This is the poignantand moving story of Washington- born singer Eva Cassidy.Bythe time of her death, she was unknown outside Wash-ington but within four years Terry Wogan discovered and promoted her haunting interpretation of Somewhere Over the Rainbow to the top of the chart.
This sad, but uplifting, musical play journeys through her life, from her idyllic childhood growing up in a musical family, to her studio work with boyfriend and mentor Chris Biondo; to the exuberant live recording of Blues Alley and finally to her tragically premature death at the age just 33 .
Sarah Jane Buckley (Hollyoaks) stars as Cassidy, Pauline Fleming (Coronation Street, Brookside) as Barbara Cassidy, and Rob McVeigh (PopStar! The Musical, Any Dream Will Do) as Danny Cassidy, whileWest End actor Robert Grose (The Lion King, Starlight Express) playslarger-thanlife legendary music mogul,ChuckBrown.
More than a musical life-story, Over The Rainbow: The Eva Cassidy Story is a showfor anyone who has lost someone they love. A thoroughly entertaining and a memorable experience.
