Tommy Tiernan to make musical debut in The House Must Win
The show will run for one month, with shows in Dublin and Cork.
Tommy Tiernan has been announced to appear in Mick Flannery's new musical The House Must Win, set to premiere in Dublin on April 17, 2026.
Known for his standup and roles in comedy such as Derry Girls, this will be the Donegal-born comedians first role in a musical. His most recent theatrical role was as Thomasheen Seán in a production of Sive, shown at the Druid Theatre in Galway in 2018.
The House Must Win is Mick Flannery's first musical, with songs taken from his 2005 debut album Evening Train. The production will follow the story of "a town broken by secrets, bribes and backroom poker games". Tiernan will play Ray, "a father heartbroken mostly by his own hand". Up-and-coming Belfast actress and singer Tabitha Smyth has been cast as his "witty" daughter Grace.
“It’s been such a privilege being a part of this project from its development, and I feel incredibly honoured to be bringing Grace to life surrounded by such an incredible group of people on and off stage," said Smyth. "Mick’s writing is just next level and I cannot wait for audiences to finally see and hear this incredible piece of Irish theatre.”
The show will run at the Pavillion Theatre in Dun Laoghaire from April 17 to May 3, 2026, followed by a run at The Everyman theatre in Cork from May 6 to May 16, 2026. Tickets for the Dublin shows can be purchased here and tickets for the Cork shows can be found here.
