WOS TV: Javine, Harvey & Collins Discuss Daddy

Boney M compilation musical Daddy Cool received its world premiere last night (21 September 2006, previews from 15 August) at the West End’s Shaftesbury Theatre (See News, 7 Jul 2006).

The musical – in which pop stars Javine and So Solid Crew’s Harvey lead a 35-strong cast, including EastEnders’ Michelle Collins - features the hits of Seventies disco group Boney M, as well as other pop hits from the stable of producer Frank Farian, reinterpreted with contemporary influences and set alongside a modern London story loosely based on Romeo and Juliet (See News, 19 Jan 2006).
