The show has been more than two years in the making and has been adapted from the novel by Doyle himself and will be directed by award winning Jamie Lloyd.
It tells the story of working class lad Jimmy Rabbitte who pulls together an unlikely bunch of amateur musicians and friends to become the finest soul band Dublin has ever produced.
Jimmy puts an ad in the newspaper and auditions a number of wannabes before forming The Commitments. The musical takes you through the early stages of the band getting to know each other and their instruments, through early rehearsals to their first gig.
But just as they begin to get a name for themselves the backing singers are all getting off with the middle aged horn legend, the singer has entered Eurovision and the saxophone player starts leaning towards a jazz career.
