Commentaires : Daddy Cool was a compilation of songs by Boney M and other Frank Farian produced artists with the songs adapted to fit into an Anglo-Caribbean love-story somewhat indebted to the gangland rivalry of “West Side Story”. The show had a troubled start: the announced opening in May was postponed to enable “more creative time”, and it finally opened four months later, with previews from August 15th. Following mixed notices, it ran for nearly five months, closing on 17th February 2007.
Presse : CHARLES SPENCER for THE DAILY TELEGRAPH says, "A raw, energetic production by Andy Goldberg, also boasts a soupcon of wit, a hint of a heart and lashings of energy...The Shaftesbury, for so long a graveyard of dreadful musicals, might just have a hit on its hands for once."
RHODA KOENIG for THE INDEPENDENT says, "One can't feel affection for anyone here, for the music isn't out to charm us or gain our sympathy, merely impress us with a series of song-and-dance numbers."
BENEDICT NIGHTINGALE for THE TIMES says, "The casts’ energy is as impressive as its choreographic discipline."
NICHOLAS DE JONGH for THE EVENING STANDARD says, "Daddy Cool, a thoroughly modern metropolitan musical, reliant upon hits from that best-selling band Boney M, left me little more than medium-warm...Andy Goldberg's spectacular production, with its spectacular, sometimes vulgar sets and Sean Cheesman's choreography are notable for their dynamism."
LYN GARDNER for THE GUARDIAN says, "If only somebody had taken the time and trouble to sort out the book, which is short on craft and never finds a way to integrate the back story, this could be an evening with real zing."
