Co-Producer Diane McGraw, said, “I am so proud to launch the U.S. tour in Philadelphia. Coming from a Scots-Irish family myself, I look forward to seeing audiences share the intense emotional connection with their own family stories. I know they will love it as much as I do.”

Composer John Anderson said, “The quest for a better life is a universal urge, a deeply rooted human value we all share. The story of the Irish is a universal story that unites us all.”
