Over the rainbow is a compelling award-winning musical,
starring Faye Tozer (from STEPS) as Eva Cassidy,
which tells the life story of this legendary artist, following
Eva's life through dramatic scenes and stunning live renditions of
her music including a haunting interpretation of Somewhere Over
the Rainbow. The show will also co-star Irish singer
Rose-Marie as Barbara Cassidy.
This award-winning show has received plaudits from the Eva
Cassidy Band and members of her family and contains projection and
original footage from Eva Cassidy's life, following it from the age
of 10 growing up in a musical family, to her first professional gig
aged 18, her first meeting with her boyfriend and mentor Chris
Biondo, a rabble-rousing rendition and recording at Blues Alley
with Chuck Brown and culminating in her poignant and tragic
death.
Before she died at the tender age of 33, she was unknown
outside Washington, USA but within 2 years, she was
discovered by Terry Wogan who promoted her music to the top of the
album charts in the UK and now Europe, Australia and throughout the
world.
A talented and world-class cast of actors and musicians
recreate her original arrangements and recordings which have
received accolades from Mick Fleetwood and Sting and tributes from
Nora Jones, Katie Melua and Chris De Burgh.
This show pays a genuine and heartfelt tribute to a true
artist who was not interested in fame and fortune, but wanted
nothing more than to create beautiful music.
From its' first performance in 2004, Over the
Rainbow, has moved people immensely with sell-out
performances and standing ovations throughout the UK and
Europe.
