Set in multicultural London and budgeted at £3million, Daddy Cool features a cast of 35, including television actress Michelle Collins, singer Harvey of the band So Solid Crew and Popstars: The Rivals singer Javine. With a book by Amani Naphtali, it tells the story of a young man who lives for his music but is caught up the local rivalry between East and West London crews.
With the delay, producers of Daddy Cool have canceled a company engagement that was scheduled to take place in Berlin on September 17. West End previews from September 11 through September 20 had been canceled to accommodate the Berlin show, but, now that it is off, those previews have been put back on sale.
