A self-described "Celtic soul" trio, the Script were founded by guitarist Marc Sheehan and vocalist Danny O'Donoghue in 2001. The two musicians had previously performed together in Mytown, an Irish-based boy band that enjoyed moderate success at home but failed to generate international acclaim. After the group disbanded, Sheehan and O'Donoghue spent several years in Los Angeles, where they worked as producers alongside the likes of Teddy Riley, the Neptunes, and Rodney Jerkins. They later relocated to Dublin and recruited Glen Power as their drummer, trading promising careers in production for a blend of contemporary R&B and polished, anthemic pop/rock.
Irish alt-rockers The Script haven’t wasted any time getting their music career off the ground since their eponymous studio debut surfaced in 2008. The self-described Celtic soul trio is enjoying the continuing success of its third album, the aptly titled “#3.” That 2012 release, which features the platinum-selling track “Hall of Fame” with will.i.am., topped the charts in Ireland and the U.K. and has been covered by musical television series “Glee” — a true pop culture nod of approval. To date, The Script has helmed two extensive headlining world tours, both of which boasted impressive ticket sales across the globe, including several sold-out arena shows. The soulful performers have also provided opening support for concerts by some of today’s most iconic acts, including fellow Europeans U2 and Paul McCartney. The Script has even transitioned to the screen, licensing a few of their singles for use on U.S. shows such as “90210” and “The Vampire Diaries” and U.K. programs “EastEnders” and “Made in Chelsea.” Frontman and singer/songwriter Danny O’Donoghue also took part in “The Voice U.K.,” serving as a coach alongside Tom Jones, Jessie J and will.i.am.
The Script was AMAZING I love how great they are with there fans literally comung into the audience to play their songs with us calling an ex and literally singing a song to them it was by far the BEST CONCERT IVE EVER BEEN TOO!!! I literally cant wait to see them live again
the script is iconic….so is massey hall….but the two together just didn’t work. at one point the singer went into the crowd, and no one else could see….people were standing up and trying to watch and the higher up you went the less visible they were. they played 3 songs in the audience and i was just about ready to leave at that point because i couldn’t see anything….kinda sucked but can’t blame the crowd for standing up….
The SCRIPT never disappoints in a live show and this was no exception. The smaller venues allow them to really engage with the audience. It’s so intimate to have members of the band walk into the crowd to play a few songs.
An impressive and wonderful show. I enjoyed the concert
The Script were brilliant (even if they didn’t play “I’ve got Friends” (our personal favourite). Calum Scott was also a great, complimentary artist, who was really entertaining. The venue is iconic and everything you’d expect. One minor issue was that we almost couldn’t get an alcoholic drink because we had no photo ID (bear in mind that me and the wife have a combined age of well into 3 figures). We had to get the manager and she conceded eventually. Overall a very memorable occasion
From the opening act (Calum Scott) to the encore, just a great live show. Danny always brings the energy and enthusiasm.
I had such a great time at the concert! My only complaint is that we were not notified before the show that Calum Scott would not be performing so we did not have to arrive by the original time. I spent an hour standing waiting for Calum to come out and was confused and upset when he didn't. We could've arrived an hour later than we did instead of standing in anticipation and not spent the first song trying to figure out why Calum wasn't there. Other than that I had an amazing time!! The venue, drinks, and band were fantastic. A wonderful night!
I cried during this concert! These guys are so good and genuinely love what they’re doing. It was such a beautiful experience, almost spiritual. Thank you guys for sharing your gift with NYC. We love you!
The Script was amazing! Great concert. I love the venue. It was a really open space and the staff were super helpful. We upgraded to a premium seat on the balcony. It was a great view and worth the price.
Just amazing. The Script are always great in concert but adding in the venue of RCMH was just brilliant . Booked our trip to NYC around the concert as we love the band and have always wanted to go to a concert in RCMH. What a fabulous night. Callum Scott was amazing too.
I have seen The Script several times and they never disappoint. They always put on such an amazing show, sound great, always engage with the crowd and appreciate their fans. Can’t wait to see them again.
Amazing concert! One of the best shows I've EVER been to and I've been to over 100 concerts.
Radio City is a fantastic venue and has great views. However, the bass vibrated so badly at times around the Mezzanine that it was impossibly to hear the vocals at all on most songs (especially with Calum Scott). You really think at this stage that sound technicians would be able to get things right.
Venue was great and Danny’s energy and connection to the crowd was amazing!
Fantastic performance by The Script. Sound was great and the venue was beautiful. Will definitely be seeing them when they tour again.
The band is great in this live setting. The sound was great. The staff at the venue was friendly and helpful.
From the first note - until the last note - the entire audience was standing. Unbelievable energy by the band - incredible show and venue. The band clearly enjoys what they do and care about the fans. Will definitely see them again on their next tour.
Although it has been a few years since the last time I saw The Script at Hammerstein Ballroom (completely different venue audience), it was a great show, nevertheless. I didn't feel the elevated atmosphere that I saw a few years ago, and maybe it was because it was their last show of the Tour - but it took me back to what made me love this band. We were sitting at the 1st Mez level - so maybe it was the placement. We were surrounded by an animated crowd around us enjoying all the music - so it was a pleasant experience. It was the first time for my partner seeing this band. And he loved it! And of course, they saved the best for last - Hall of Fame! We had a great time and we enjoyed the venue, the crowd and The Script!
While their opening act had to cancel, for health reasons, the Script came out and put on a great show. Especially liked when the lead singer came down into the middle of the audience and performed 2 songs. Great show!
Show was AMAZING. Better than anticipated. The script crushed it as always
