Over The Rainbow - The Eva Cassidy Story:
Sarah Jane Buckley

Over The Rainbow, the Life Story of Eva Cassidy stars Sarah Jane Buckley (Hollyoaks) in the role of Eva Cassidy plus the sensational Scottish singer and Musicality winner, Donna Hazelton playing Barbara Cassidy (Eva’s mother) and David Paisley (Holby City, Casualty & River City). 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, culminating in her poignant and tragic death. 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. This is more than the life story of Eva Cassidy - it's a show for anyone who has lost someone they love.
