Have you ever had that out of body nightmare where your entire night of ridiculous antics in Coppers is played out in front of you on a big massive stage? No, just me. Grand. I imagine that's what Coppers: The Musical is going to be like. Yep, you read it right. Coppers, the fecking MUSICAL. Can you believe it.

The news was announced today by The Irish Sun's Showbiz Editor, Ken Sweeney, in an interview with Newstalk, claiming that the creator of Anglo: The Musical, Darren Smith, has drafted the idea and is putting plans in place to produce Coppers: The Musical.

Not only that, but Mr. Sweeney suggests that Paul Howard, author of the Ross O'Carroll Kelly books, has been approached to write the script.

Regarding the story line, Sweeney told the radio station (Via Daily Edge):

"It would be on the eve of an all Ireland-final where Dubs and rural supporters would meet in Copper Face Jacks in a kind of West Side Story scenario."

Sounds about right.

I wonder if there's a record for the Most People Shifting On Stage In A Musical.

And what about the music? Will there be a sing along to Peter André's Mysterious Girl? Or, a show down between The Culchies and The Dubs in a Macarena themed fight scene. Who knows, but i'm sure half the country are going to want to find out.

Seriously, though, is Coppers the only place in the world that plays this tune on a regular basis?

It's still a classic, I don't care what anyone says.
