WERS 88.9 fm - Album Review: Finian's Rainbow
March 15th, 2010
The American musical classic, Finian's Rainbow was recently revisited by a Broadway revival that garnered gracious reviews, but stingy ticket sales. The 2009 revival of Finian's Rainbow closed on January 10th of this year, releasing a fresh new cast recording nearly a month after. The much-acclaimed cast includes: Jim Norton, Kate Baldwin, Cheyenne Jackson, Christopher Fitzgerald, and Chuck Cooper. The creative team includes: director Warren Carlyle, musical supervision and vocal arrangements by Rob Berman, music by Burton Lane, and lyrics by Yip Harburg. This recording brings an undeniable warmth and charm to the show's whimsical sound. Unlike most revival recordings, this production successfully brings a classic musical to 2010, without sacrificing the integrity of the much-beloved music. This is rich revival recording you certainly want to add to your collection!
