Daddy Cool is a musical based upon the works of Boney M. and other Frank Farian-produced artists. It premiered in the West End in 2006, followed by UK and international tours. It is currently (2017) touring Germany to positive reviews and sold-out theatres.
The musical 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 past secrets and forcing them to confront their future.
