I can't believe how much I loved it! I am not familiar with that show at all, but it has that old Broadway magical feeling. Cheyenne is my favorite Broadway performer along with Michael Ball and Mandy Patinkin.
His voice sounds better and better. And Kate Baldwin has come a long way since she replaced Nancy Anderson in Wonderul Town.
Fantastic!!!
I can't wait to see it.

I always seem to forget what a Big Piece of Man-Candy Cheyenne is. And they sound great together!
The score is classic.

Kate Baldwin is one of the most underrated talents in this city. She has SUCH a beautiful voice.

The score of FINIAN'S RAINBOW is a short one - maybe 12 songs in all but each and every one of them is an absolute gem!

Cast albums are NOT "soundtracks."
Live theatre does not use a "soundtrack." If it did, it wouldn't be live theatre!
I host a weekly one-hour radio program featuring cast album selections as well as songs by cabaret, jazz and theatre artists. The program, FRONT ROW CENTRE is heard Sundays 9 to 10 am and also Saturdays from 8 to 9 am (eastern times) on www.proudfm.com

Cheyenne Jackson and Kate Baldwin are the most gorgeous couple coming to Broadway this fall, beautifully singing those glorious songs in Finian's Rainbow. I saw it twice at Encores! in March and cannot wait to see it at the St. James Theatre starting October 8! I bet it will be a huge hit with the critics and the public, it is tuneful, timely and has a talented, terrific cast.

Agree with bjh2114 - Kate is amazing - hoping this really launches her onto Bway's A-list.

yeah, really wasn't expecting that to be as magical as it was. I'm not familiar with the show either. It only has 12 songs?? So I take it more like a play with music? Very cool if so...thanks for posting!

I was really impressed. Can't wait to see it fully staged with the new sets, costumes, etc.

Is there anyone better suited to play an Irish lass than Kate Baldwin. Fair skin, red hair...physically perfect. She makes me look tan 
Wait until Flea Market when we're standing next to each other haha
Can't wait for this revival.

Knowing virtually nothing about this musical, I must say this video clip has my interest piqued!

Loved it at Encores, can't wait to see the full production - and thanks for that clip, it's one of my most favorite of all theatre songs!
