The Commitments is coming to Birmingham Hippodrome & its bursting with the feelgood factor

It’s five years since The Commitments came to London’s West End and then embarked on a sell out tour.

Now the feel good music show, based on the BAFTA award winning 1991 film classic is back on the road again with its enigmatic celebration of soul - do you remember Mustang Sally?

Adapted from the iconic novel by Booker prize winning author Roddy Doyle, and directed by Andrew Linnie, this smash hit production stars Coronation Street legend Nigel Pivaro (Terry Duckworth). 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 tells the story of Jimmy Rabbitte, a young working-class music fan who dreams of starting the finest soul band Dublin has ever produced. Placing a classified advert in a music paper, Jimmy auditions a number of wannabes before finalising the members of his new band: The Commitments.

But as any live musician knows, getting a band together never quite goes to plan – especially after a few pints of Guinness! Tickets are still available and you can get ours at: Birmingham Hippodrome, The Commitments
