DADDY COOL tells the story of ‘Sunny’, a young man who 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 confront their future.

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 and Mary’s Boychild.
