The Jonah Hitchens Band will be performing live beforethis screening, so get down early!
The Commitments is the wildly entertaining story of the unlikely rise and inevitable fall of a Dublin Soul band. Unemployed wheeler and dealer Jimmy Rabitte identifies a gap in the Dublin music market and decides to form “the world’s hardest-working band”, out of a rag-tag group ranging from drunken wedding singers to church organists.
Backed by an unforgettable Motown and soul soundtrack, The Commitments is a must-see musical comedy whether it’s your first watch or your fiftieth.
