Daddy Cool will have
its world premiere at the Shaftesbury Theatre in London
on 26 April, with a Press night on 16 May 2006. Set in
multicultural London, to the music of Boney M (and other
Frank Farian artists including Milli Vanilli and No
Mercy), this new and exciting musical includes classics
such as 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. Many of the numbers,
originally written in the 70s and 80s, have been
re-interpreted with contemporary musical influences
whilst still retaining the elements that made the songs
such huge hits.
With over 800 million sales of Boney M albums around the
world, including 22 Number One hits, the group was a
phenomenon and their music has reached far and wide
during the past 30 years.
Daddy Cool tells the story of 'Sunny', a young
manwho lives for his music. Caught up in local rivalry
between East and West London crews, he meets and falls
in love with 'Rose', daughter of the East End's
notorious club owner 'Ma Baker'. Echoing Romeo and
Juliet, the lovers' relationship fuels the hostility
between the two gangs, leaving their families face to
face with past secrets and forcing them to comfront
their future.
