SOLD OUT ( no longer in stock ) FINIAN'S RAINBOW Broadway Poster 14" x 22" Rare 2009 NEW : Large Color Poster for the New York City 2009 Broadway Engagement of * Finian's Rainbow * at the renowned St. James Theater at 246 West 44th Street and Broadway in Times Square , New York City. A combination of whimsy, romance, and political satire, the plot revolves around Finian McLonergan, who has emigrated from Ireland to the town of Rainbow Valley in the mythical state of Missitucky with his daughter Sharon, intent on burying a stolen pot of gold in the shadows of Fort Knox, in the belief it will grow and multiply. Hot on their heels is Og, a leprechaun intent on recovering his treasure, before the loss of it turns him permanently human. Complicating matters are a corrupt senator who makes no effort to conceal his racial bigotry and the wishes made by those unknowingly in the vicinity of the hidden crock, including Sharon, who gives the senator a taste of his own hateful medicine by accidentally turning him black (temporarily). In the ultimate happy ending, Sharon marries the handsome, cocky young Woody Mahoney; and Woody's mute sister, "Susan the Silent", acquires the power of speech and falls in love with Og, (who decides that being human is not so bad after all). This fully-staged Broadway revival opened at the St. James Theatre to rave reviews on October 29, 2009, with most of the Encores! cast returning. Notable replacements to the Broadway cast are Christopher Fitzgerald as Og, David Shramm as Senator Rawkins and Chuck Cooper as Rawkins transformed into a black man. Ernest Harburg, Yip Harburg's son and president of the Harburg Foundation, said "The satire of our economic system is particularly relevant right now 2009, given the nation’s deep financial woes."
