Finian's Brings a Rainbow to The View

The cast of Finian's Rainbow performs on ABC's The View. The show airs at 11am EST.

Featuring music by Burton Lane, lyrics by Yip Harburg and a book by Harburg and Fred Saidy, Finian’s Rainbow is the story of Irishman Finian McLonergan (played by Tony Award winner Jim Norton) and his daughter Sharon (Kate Baldwin), who travels to a small town in the mythical state of Missitucky with plans to bury a stolen pot of gold in the shadows of Fort Knox in the mistaken belief it will grow and multiply. They have been followed from Ireland by the owner of the gold, a leprechaun named Og (Christopher Fitzgerald), who shows up determined to recover his treasure. Meanwhile, Sharon falls in love with a handsome Missitucky landowner named Woody (Jackson). Also figuring into the plot is a blowhard Senator named Billboard (Chuck Cooper).
