WHAT IS THE COMMITMENTS MUSICAL ABOUT?

The Commitments Musical is a fantastically feel good celebration of soul. Returning to tour the UK and Ireland 6 years after a phenomenally successful, record breaking run in London’s West End and subsequent sell-out tour.  

The Commitments is based on the BAFTA award-winning film classic.  It received universal critical acclaim following its London World Premiere and was quickly hailed as a smash hit musical sensation.

The Commitments tells the story of Jimmy Rabbitte, a young working-class music fan, who transforms an unlikely bunch of amateur musicians into an amazing live act, which becomes the finest soul band Dublin has ever produced. Placing a classified advert in a music paper, Jimmy auditions a number of wannabes before finalsing the members of his new band, which he names ‘The Commitments’.

Humour kicks in as the band get to know each other and their instruments, grappling with inter-group differences as they muddle their way through early rehearsals for the band’s first gig. Just as they improve and begin to get a name for themselves, they combust.

The backing singers are more interested in the middle-aged horn playing legend, the singer has entered Eurovision, the drummer has walked out mid-gig and the saxophone player has dangerous leanings towards a jazz career.

Featuring over 20 soul classics performed live on stage including:  Try A Little Tenderness, Mustang Sally, Knock On Wood,  River Deep, Mountain High, Papa Was A Rolling Stone, Save Me, I Heard It Through The Grapevine, In The Midnight Hour and more!

A guaranteed fantastically fun night out that will have you singing your heart out and dancing up out of your seats!
