Paul Boyd’Äôs musical McCool was commissioned in 2002 and first produced by Northern Ireland's oldest independent theatre producer Big Telly Theatre Company in association with the Lyric Theatre, Belfast. The musical, based on the story of Irish mythological wild-child Finn McCool, toured Ireland extensively in 2002 and developed a cult following across the country. The original 2002 cast included Rachel Tucker who is currently starring as Elphaba in the West End production of the musical Wicked and who has also featured in the Queen and Ben Elton musical We Will Rock You at London’Äôs Dominion Theatre. In 2006 pbm presented McCool as part of The McCool Project, the company's musical theatre training programme at The Market Place Theatre, Armagh where students rehearsed with a professional cast and crew before appearing on stage in public performances. In the same year, the show was selected by Mercury Musical Developments in London as a UK entry to the NAMT’Äôs Festival of New Musicals in New York. Most recently, McCool was performed by students of pbm's McCool Summer School 2007 at the Grand Opera House in Belfast and An Grianˆ°n Theatre in Letterkenny. Staged as an exciting multi-media rock concert McCool is performed by a multi-roleplaying cast of five and charts the life of Finn McCool from his lowly beginning as an abandoned baby to his eventual position as Ireland's first superstar. The show features an eclectic, non-stop mix of dance and pop music, culminating in a spectacular mega-mix finale. Songs include "Mythology", "Gotta Grow Up", "I Will Think of You" and "War".Achievements_and_Awards.htmlAchievements_and_Awards.htmlshapeimage_9_link_0shapeimage_9_link_1
