Finian’s Rainbow

A fairy-tale musical not only about the search for true happiness

The musical is in Czech and has no subtitles.

The original version of the Broadway musical Finian’s Rainbow captivated the Czech duo V+W (actors Jiří Voskovec and Jan Werich) so much that, right after their joint return from exile, they adapted it for the Czech stage, relocating it into Czech realities. The central character became the water sprite Čochtan, a role that Jan Werich tailored specifically for himself, while Jiří Voskovec directed the play. The Magic Pot was also their last joint play, and it featured several prominent artists, such as Ljuba Hermanová and Soňa Červená.
