Daddy Cool Comes to the West End

Daddy Cool, a new musical based on the somgs of 70s/80s groups Boney M, and No Mercy, and singer Milli Vanilli, will premiere at the Shaftesbury Theatre on 16th May, 2006 (previews from 26 April). Directed by Andy Goldberg (Bomb-itty of Errors) with creative associate Gurinder Chadha (the film of Bend It Like Beckham), it will star former So Solid Crew member Harvey.

The music will be given a contemporary re-interpretation and the show follows the fortunes of Sunny, a young man who lives for music, who is caught up in a Romeo and Juliet-like gang rivalry.

Songs which will appear in the show include“Rivers of Babylon”, “Brown Girl in the Ring”, “Ma Baker”, “Girl You Know It’s True”, “Where Do You Go”, “One Way Ticket”, “Mary’s Boychild” and the title soing, Boney M's first hit, “Daddy Cool”.
