Full casting is set for the Irish Repertory Theatre's upcoming revival of the classic musical Finian's Rainbow, starring Tony nominee Melissa Errico.

Errico, who starred in the Irish Rep's 2004 production of the Burton Lane-E.Y. Harburg-Fred Saidy tuner, will reprise her performance as Sharon, which she returned to earlier this year in a benefit concert for the company. Artistic director Charlotte Moore stages the production, which begins previews on October 26, opens on November 6, and runs through December 18.

She will be joined by Ryan Silverman (Passion) as Woody, Mark Evans (Ghost) as Og, Ken Jennings (Sweeney Todd) as Finian, William Bellamy as a Gospeleer, Kimberly Doreen Burns as Lilly Mae, Dewey Caddell as Senator, Peyton Crim as Sheriff, Matt Gibson as Buzz Collins, Angela Grovey as Sallyann, Ramone Owens as a Gospeleer, Kyle Taylor Parker as a Gospeleer, and Lyrica Woodruff as Susan the Silent. Errico and Silverman starred in Classic Stage Company's 2013 revival of Passion.

The production will have choreography by Barry McNabb, scenic design by James Morgan, costume design by David Toser, lighting design by Mary Jo Dondlinger, musical supervision by John Bell, and dialect coaching by Stephen Gabis.
