Description

PEDDLING RAINBOWS
The Songs and Poetry of E.Y. "Yip" Harburg

Director: Tom Segal
Music Supervisor: Dave Dobrusky
Musical Director: G. Scott Lacy

Starring: Andrea Brembry, Scarlett Hepworth, Maggie Elizabeth May, Alexander Nee, Susan Himes Powers, Peter Sroka

This world premiere revue celebrates the songs of E.Y. "Yip" Harburg! The man who created the lyrics for THE WIZARD OF OZ and such musicals as FINIAN'S RAINBOW, BLOOMER GIRL, and JAMAICA, Harburg was dedicated to social justice, and was often referred to as "Broadway's social conscience." His lyrics and poems frequently found him in the mode of a social commentator.

Harburg's composer-collaborators included Harold Arlen, Burton Lane, Jerome Kern, and Vernon Duke. The revue includes hits like "It's Only a Paper Moon," "April in Paris," "Brother Can You Spare a Dime?," "Over the Rainbow," and "Down With Love."
