The World Premiere of
Macbecks
A brand new musical comedy
Book & Lyrics by Gary Cooke and Malachy McKenna
Music & Additional Lyrics by Jody Trehy
Directed and Choreographed by David Bolger
Is this a stiletto I see before me.....?
There's a new "wagalicious" musical comedy coming to brighten up the New Year. Macbecks tells the story of a certain celebrity footballer and his A-list wife and their global brand - his trials and tribulations with his marriage, his manager, his beautiful game and, most importantly, his bendy ball.
Starring Gary Cooke, (Après Match) a host of football musical veterans and some feisty young ladies, this is a show to cast off the winter chills and start having some fun again.
Both writers - Gary Cooke and Malachy McKenna - will feature in the large cast which also includes I, Keano veterans Dessie Gallagher, Nicholas Grennell and Karl Harpur. They are joined by Barbara Bergin, Seanín Brennan, Andrew Holden, Eoin Lynch, Ruth McGill and Mary Murray with Paul Reid as Macbecks with Kelly Gough as Poshoria.
The production is directed and choreographed by renowned Irish director/choreographer David Bolger. Set design is by Ferdia Murphy with Costume design by Sinead Cuthbert and Therese McKeone. Lighting is designed by Sinead McKenna and musical arrangements are by Paul Higgs.
The World Premiere of Macbecks will take place at the Olympia Theatre on Wednesday 14th January followed by a strictly limited run.
WARNING: This show contains scenes of SPICE, SPORT, SEX, CELEBRITY and some mild SOCCER!
