Our homecoming season begins with our most popular — and in this volatile election season, especially timely — musical, Finian’s Rainbow.

Our most loved musical returns to the Irish Rep stage this fall, twelve years after it was first revived to great acclaim. Tony-nominee Melissa Errico will reprise her celebrated performance as “Sharon” as we start our homecoming season in true Irish style!

The groundbreaking 1947 musical follows an Irishman who steals a feisty leprechaun’s pot of gold and escapes with his daughter, Sharon, to Missitucky, a mythical region, part of the Jim Crow South. The daughter and the sprite each find romance with others, but also encounter bigotry, economic disparity and cultural injustice
