The poignant and moving story of Washington born singer Eva Cassidy comes to the Town Hall Theatre for two nights only on Friday 6 and Saturday 7 November. By the time of her death, Eva Cassidy was unknown outside Washington but within four years Terry Wogan discovered and promoted her haunting interpretation of 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow' to the top of the chart. ![]() 'Over The Rainbow' has received rapturous receptions and standing ovations throughout the UK, Ireland and Europe. This compelling, award-winning 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 of 33. This sad but uplifting love story features over 27 of her best loved songs recreated by a multi-talented cast of West End performers featuring Zoe Tyler ('Any Dream will Do' and 'How do you Solve a Problem like Maria'). More than a life story, this thoroughly entertaining and truly memorable show will resonate with anyone who has lost someone they love. Tickets for 'Over The Rainbow' (€25/matinee €20) are available for booking now from the town Hall box office on 091-569777 or from www.tht.ie |
