The production is built on high-quality singing, acting, and dancing performances. Petr Rychlý relishes his role as the good-natured father, Marshal. The star of the premiere was Petr Jeništa’s water sprite Čochtan, who, following in the footsteps of Werich’s humor, creates a distinctive character full of humanity and humor. The young couple was played by the superbly singing Dagmar Křížová (Káča) and Robert Urban (Woody). However, all the performers contribute to the success of this delightful family musical.

Finians’s Rainbow is an extraordinary performance that succeeds in creating an atmosphere that captivates audiences of all ages. The exemplary behavior of the children in the audience is clear proof of this. The stage radiated incredibly positive energy and harmony—something I tend to encounter more often in productions that have been running for a while, but which is rare for a premiere. I’m delighted that this play has made its debut at the Hybernia Theater, and I hope we’ll be able to enjoy it for as long as possible.

This well-known musical about the search for true values in life has been given a lightness and playfulness in this new production that suits it very well. The humor here is subtle, gentle, and subtly reminds us of what truly matters in life. A huge asset is the character of the water sprite Čochtan—Petr Jeništa plays him with such naturalness, charm, and wit that he immediately wins over the audience. His delivery of lines and witty remarks is a sheer joy to watch. Thanks to the well-coordinated ensemble and the visible dedication of all the performers, the entire production has a warm, slightly nostalgic atmosphere and a sense of cohesion.

The creators have succeeded in transforming this well-known production about the search for life’s true treasure into an incredibly fresh, playful, and human spectacle. The direction sensitively blends humor with a reminder of important values. The standout highlight is Petr Jeništa’s Čochtan, whose irresistibly funny and charismatic performance lights up every scene. The energetic ensemble work of the entire cast creates a warm, slightly nostalgic atmosphere and a strong sense of community. It’s a great choice for an enjoyable family theater experience.

This musical, which has enjoyed years of success, has managed to surprise us once again. The creators have put together a production that is fresh, accessible, and entertaining for the entire audience, from children to adults. On stage, humor blends with gentle nostalgia and a reminder that true wealth is to be found elsewhere than in material things.
Great credit goes to Mr. Jeništa, whose portrayal of Čochtan is full of panache and energy and immediately captures the audience’s attention. Each of his appearances brings laughter and joy through small details.
Overall, this is a production you can count on: a relaxing family experience where everyone will find something to enjoy. If you’re looking for a theater recommendation that will delight you and put you in a good mood, this is the perfect choice.
