This compelling award-winning musical 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.

The show has received plaudits from the Eva Cassidy Band and members of her family and contains 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.

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.

Starring Sarah Jane Buckley (Hollyoaks), Maureen Nolan and Rob McVeigh (BBC’s Any Dream Will Do).
