:18:08.:18:12.

on the big screen, it's to return, but this time to the London stage.

:18:12.:18:16.

The story of a group working class Dubliners who form a soul band was

:18:16.:18:19.

originally a book written by Roddy Doyle. And he's put pen to paper

:19:02.:19:10.

defined by that and my knowledge of stage musicals was almost totally

:19:10.:19:18.

absent, completely. I knew nothing. I had never been to one. The show is

would be untrue to this story if it was a bunch of amazing celebrities,

:20:11.:20:17.

like most celebrities —— musicals on the West End. This is our first

:20:17.:20:21.

experience and the excitement of what the band actually felt. Despite

:20:21.:20:36.

the reluctance 20 years later, are you glad you have done this? Very

:20:36.:20:40.

much so, I was anxious for it to be as good as it could be and the

:20:40.:20:44.

experience of watching it happen and getting sharper everyday and the
