Finian’s Rainbow
Moore’s adaptation successfully uses the small, recently renovated stage of the Irish Repertory Theatre so that even with 13 actors the performance area always looks populated with the people of Rainbow Valley.

The four piece orchestra sits neatly tucked in the back of the stage without distracting from the performance. [more]
