Overview
Donnybrook! brings the green hills of Ireland to Broadway in a rollicking tale of love, honor, and that famous Irish brawl. When American newspaperman Michael Cassidy (Eddie Foy Jr.) returns to his ancestral village of Donnybrook, he finds himself caught between two spirited heroines—and the promise of the town’s legendary fair. With Johnny Burke’s tuneful score and Jack Cole’s dynamic choreography, this original cast album captures every toe-tapping jig and heartfelt ballad from a show that ran over 100 performances.
