Hollyoaks, actress and presenter, The Prince's Trust Ambassador), DAVID PAISLEY (River City, Holby &

Over the Rainbow is a compelling award-winning Musical, which
tells the Life 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.’
This Award Winning Show has received plaudits from the Eva
Cassidy Band and members of her family and contains projection
and original footage from Eva Cassidy’s life, from an early age
to her first professional gig aged 18, her first meeting with
her boyfriend and mentor Chris Biondo, a rabble-rousing
rendition and recording at Blues Alley with Chuck Brown and
culminating in her poignant and tragic death.
Before she died at the tender age of 33, she was unknown outside
Washington, USA but within 2 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
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.
This Show pays a genuine and heartfelt tribute to a true Artist
who was not interested in fame and fortune, but 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 and Europe.
This is more than the Life Story of Eva Cassidy which is an
absolute must-see for all Eva Cassidy Fans, its’ a Show for
anyone who’s lost someone they love.
