The Commitments is the story of a young working-class music fan, Jimmy Rabbitte, who shaped an unlikely group of inexperienced musicians into Dublin's finest ever soul band. The musical follows two frustrated members of a synthesiser band who turn to the local music expert, Jimmy, for help.
Jimmy places a classified advert in a music paper and auditions several wannabes before settling on the new lineup, The Commitments.
The band gets to know each other and their instruments and holds rehearsals for their first gig.
But, just when they start to make a name for themselves, the band falls apart! The singer has entered Eurovision, the saxophonist has leanings toward a career in jazz, and the backing singers are hooking up with the middle-aged horn player!
