LONDON, Apr 24: Irish author Roddy Doyle’s bestselling novel “The Commitments” is finally being made into a musical, more than 25 years after the heartwarming tale of a group of aspiring soul musicians was first published. The Booker Prize winner’s 1987 story about young working class Jimmy Rabbitte’s efforts to form the “finest soul act in Dublin” became a hit film in 1991, but Doyle said he turned down a flood of requests to adapt it into a musical at the time.
