Zoe Tyler plays Eva Cassidy in Over The Rainbow

Vocal Coach, Loose Women star and panelist on Any Dream will Do and How do you solve a problem like Maria, Zoe Tyler is is swapping roles as she steps onto the stage as Eva Cassidy in the hit show Over The Rainbow alongside Musicality winner,  Donna Hazleton playing Barbara Cassidy (Eva’s mother) and David Paisley (Holby City, Casualty & River City).

Since its first performance Over the Rainbow has toured constantly and it tells the poignant and moving story of Washington born singer Eva Cassidy.
 
By the time of her death, she was unknown outside Washington but within four years Terry Wogan discovered and promoted her haunting interpretation of ‘Somewhere Over the Rainbow’ to the top of the chart.
 
This show has now received standing ovations throughout the UK and Ireland and was a huge hit in Holland, winning “Best Production of the Year”. 

The show journeys through Eva's life, from her idyllic childhood growing up in a musical family, to her studio work with boyfriend and mentor Chris Biondo; to the exuberant live recording of Blues Alley and finally to her tragically premature death at the age of only 33 years.

The musical features over 27 of Cassidy's best loved songs and is at the Albert Halls, Bolton on Wed 30 September.
