Marriage Equality - Civil Marriage for Gay and Lesbian People

Manny Quinn, A New Musical

10 May 2010 - 15 May 2010, 8:00 PM

Get ready to go on the funniest musical journey ever
featuring 20 classic Irish Eurovision entries.

A heartbroken Logan falls in love with a mysterious 'Manny Quinn'.
The mystery is that his two friends magically created Manny from,
yeah you guessed it... a mannequin.

But the path of true love never runs smooth.
Logan and Manny face the difficult task to prove that this ain't no plastic love.

Did we mention they'll be singing only Irish Eurovision entries?
Oh yeah... we did.
