Website: | Over The Rainbow - The Eva Cassidy Story |
Over the Rainbow is a compelling musical which tells the 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 follows her life from the age of 10 growing up in a musical family, to her first professional gig aged 18 at the Wild West World theme park, a rabble-rousing rendition and recording at Blues Alley with Chuck Brown and culminating in her poignant and tragic death at just 33.
A talented and world-class cast 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. The show pays a genuine and heartfelt tribute to a true artist who 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.
