Yesterday, we found out about the official Coppers musical which will come to the Olympia Theatre in July.

From the creator of Ross O'Carroll Kelly, Paul Howard, Copper Face Jacks: The Musical is about a classic Irish love story. On the eve of a Dublin Kerry All Ireland Final, a sweet Kerry girl, who’s moved to the big smoke for her dream job in The VHI, ends up falling head over her flat-shoes with a true blue Dublin team member. Ticket sales launched this morning and the team behind the musical are offering 100 free tickets to Gardaí and nurses. But, there's a catch, they are only for those working through Storm Emma. In a small gesture on behalf of a grateful nation, the producers of Copper Face Jacks: The Musical are offering the free tickets to an exclusive preview at the Olympia Theatre on 9 July. Any Gardai or nurses interested in getting their hands on a pair of these special tickets are asked to tweet a pic of themselves at working during Storm Emma to @CopperMusical using the hashtag #CoppersMusical. Speaking about the show Paul said: “Once you hear the name Copper Face Jacks: The Musical it’s impossible not to want to make it happen. We’ve been talking about it for a few years now so it’s brilliant to think in just a few months it will be up and running. I hope we can do this very special venue justice...whilst I also secretly dream of a day when this work is on the Leaving Certificate.”
