Copper Face Jacks The Musical returning to Olympia Theatre for 2022

One of the hottest Irish musicals of the last few years is back for the craic as Coppers Face Jacks The Musical returns to the 3Olympia for the third time.

Paul Howard's smash hit musical comedy makes its triumphant return following hugely successful summer runs in 2018 and 2019.

The show promises craic, huge laughs, Culchies, Dubs and of course, endless amounts of shifting during its limited run from August 2nd until August 20th, 2022.

Tickets are priced from €26 plus booking fee and are available through Ticketmaster this Friday, November 26th at 10am.

The musical comedy has seen massive success since it first opened with rave reviews and sell out shows. Johnny Ward is back as Gino Wildes, Stephen O'Leary (Fair City) returns as Mossy Munnix with Rachel O'Connell (Young Offenders), Daithi O'Donnell (Ros na Rún), Shane Fallon, Kelly Marie Ni Cheallaigh and introducing Sarah Gordon as Noeleen Níc Gearailt.

Copper Face Jacks: The Musical tells the love story set on the eve of a Dublin v Kerry All Ireland Final, when a sweet Kerry girl falls madly in love with the captain of the Dublin football team, Gino Wildes.

Naturally, the two face cultural and linguistic challenges in their relationship, bringing the audience on a journey to a hopeful happily ever after.

The show was originally due to take place from June 10th until June 27th 2020 but had to be rescheduled. Original tickets and seat selections remain valid for the rescheduled dates.
