“An underrated musical... Burton Lane’s score is still first rate, and Coppola steers his motley cast through it with an instinct for rhythm and movement which shows that the choreographic preoccupation which surfaced in his work starting with ONE FROM THE HEART was nothing new. Certainly the best of the latter-day musicals in the tradition of Minnelli and MGM.” – Time Out

“FINIAN’S RAINBOW is the best of the recent roadshow musicals.”
