The original text
A cabaret about Eva Cassidy, who died at the age of 33, but, as with all great legends, what seemed to be the end was actually the beginning. With Fields of Gold, Over the Rainbow and Fever, as well as familiar jazz, gospel and blues numbers, audiences will laugh, cry, and celebrate a singer who was discovered too late.
