Finian's Rainbow Original Broadway Cast Recording CD

The work of Burton Lane (music) and E.Y. Harburg (lyrics), Finian’s Rainbow, an early entrant in the 1947-48 season (it opened at the 46th Street Theatre on January 10, 1947 for a run of 725 performances), was a delightful blend of fantasy and social satire. Its whimsical story, about an Irishman newly arrived in the Southern state of Missitucky with his daughter (Ella Logan) and a crock of gold he has stolen from a leprechaun (David Wayne), was enhanced by a richly tuneful score, in which the wistful “How Are Things In Glocca Mora?” soon acquired the status of classic showstopper.
