THE critically acclaimed musical The Commitments will play at Cardiff's Millennium Centre next week.
The Commitments tells 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 UK tour features many of the cast from the record breaking show’s two year run at London’s Palace Theatre, including Brian Gilligan who will reprise his starring role of Deco and Andrew Linnie who will star as Jimmy Rabbitte.
Packed with more than 20 classic soul songs performed live on stage including: Night Train, Try A Little Tenderness and River Deep, Mountain High, The Commitments will play The Wales Millennium Centre from April 10-15.
