Over the rainbow is a compelling, award winning musical starring Faye Tozer - who shot fame in the ensemble pop group Steps.
Faye as Eva Cassidy This stunning production tells the life story of legendary artist Eva Cassidy, following her life through dramatic scenes, with live renditions of her music, including a haunting interpretation of ‘Somewhere Over the Rainbow'.
The show has received plaudits from the Eva Cassidy Band and members of her family and contains projection and original footage from Eva's life.
We follow Eva from 10 years of age, growing up in a musical family, to her first professional gig aged 13, her first meeting with her boyfriend and creator Chris Biondo, a rabble-rousing rendition and recording at Blues Alley with Chuck Brown, culminating in her poignant and tragic death.
Before she died at the tender age of 33, she was unknown outside Washington USA, but within two years she was discovered by Terry Wogan who promoted her music to the top of the album charts in the UK and now Europe, Australia and throughout the world.
A talented and world class cast of actors and musicians recreate Eva Cassidy's original arrangements and recordings.
