FINIAN'S RAINBOW

Spring 1985
Book by E.Y. Harburg and Fred Saidy
Music by Burton Lane
Lyrics by E.Y. Harburg

Directed by Caleb Standafer

Finian moves to the southern United States (the fictional state of Missitucky is a combination of Mississippi and Kentucky) from Ireland with his daughter Sharon, to bury a stolen pot of gold near Fort Knox, in the mistaken belief that it will grow. A leprechaun follows them, desperate to recover his treasure before the loss of it turns him permanently human. Complications arise when a bigoted and corrupt U.S. Senator gets involved, and when wishes are made inadvertently over the hidden crock.
