RODDY DOYLE’S THE COMMITMENTS - ON STAGE FOR THE FIRST TIME!

More than 25 years after the publication of Roddy Doyle’s best-selling novel, The Commitments is back, as a West End show, now playing at the Palace Theatre.

The Commitments is the story of Jimmy Rabbitte, a young working class music fan, who shapes an unlikely bunch of amateur musicians into an amazing live act, the finest soul band Dublin has ever produced. The show follows the journey of two members of a frustrated synthesiser band – the opening scene has them playing but ignored in a shop window - who turn to Jimmy, the local music expert, for help.

The show has been adapted for the stage by Booker Prize-winning Roddy Doyle, from his original novel.  It is directed by the award-winning Jamie Lloyd, famed for directing the critically acclaimed Macbeth, and is packed with classic soul songs including Think by Aretha Franklin, (I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction by The Rolling Stones, Papa Was A Rolling Stone by The Temptations, Knock on Wood by Eddie Floyd, In The Midnight Hour by Wilson Pickett, Try A Little Tenderness by Otis Redding and of course, Mustang Sally!
