Jim Norton, Kate Baldwin and Cheyenne Jackson head the cast of the upcoming City Center Encores! production of Finian's Rainbow.



The cast also features Jeremy Bobb, Philip Bosco, Guy Davis, Alina Faye, Ruben Santiago-Hudson, Andy Weems and William Youmans.

Warren Carlyle directs and choreographs the production with music direction by Rob Berman.

Featuring music by Burton Lane, lyrics by E.Y. Harburg and a book by Harburg and Fred Saidy, the musical tells "the story of the Irishman Finian McLonergan (Norton), and his daughter Sharon (Baldwin) who travel to a small Southern 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," according to show notes.

Here's a first look at the cast of Finian's Rainbow:
