Sam Harris "Beyond the Rainbow"

Sam Harris

Beyond the Rainbow

Music Direction by John McDaniel

Multi-platinum recording artist. Broadway icon. Once-in-a-generation voice.

In “Beyond the Rainbow,” Sam Harris bares his heart and soul in an unforgettable evening of powerhouse vocals, intimate storytelling, and razor-sharp wit. The title pays tribute to his legendary rendition of “Somewhere Over the Rainbow,” the performance that captivated 25 million viewers weekly and launched his meteoric career on Star Search — the groundbreaking competition that paved the way for shows like American Idol and The Voice.

From that historic debut to Broadway, television, platinum records, and sold-out concert halls, Sam Harris has remained one of the most electrifying performers of our time.

Beyond the Rainbow features Harris’ definitive interpretations of Broadway, pop, and timeless standards — spanning Stephen Sondheim to U2, John Kander & Fred Ebb to Lady Gaga — delivered with volcanic passion, breathtaking vulnerability, and the kind of charisma that turns a concert into an event.

Expect soaring showstoppers. Unexpected twists. Heartbreaking ballads. And Harris’ hilarious, self-effacing, and topical humor woven throughout.
