The Commitments is a fantastically feel-good celebration of soul. Returning to tour the UK and Ireland 5 years after a phenomenally successful, record-breaking run in London’s West End and subsequent sell-out tour.
Based on the BAFTA award-winning film classic, The Commitments received universal critical acclaim following its London World Premiere and was quickly hailed as a smash hit musical sensation. With over 20 soul classics performed live on stage including Night Train, Try A Little Tenderness, River Deep Mountain High, In The Midnight Hour, Papa Was A Rolling Stone, Save Me, Mustang Sally, I Heard It Through The Grapevine, Thin Line Between Love and Hate, Reach Out, Uptight, Knock On Wood, I Can’t Turn You Loose and more.
The Commitments musical has been adapted from the novel by Booker prize-winning author Roddy Doyle himself and is directed by Andrew Linnie.
This major UK and Ireland tour of the smash-hit musical will star Coronation Street legend Nigel Pivaro, who appeared in the hugely popular ITV soap between 1983 – 2012 as the lovable rogue Terry Duckworth. He will be swapping the cobbles for the stage and performing the role of ‘Da’ in this all-new production.
