Moriarty, Aoife (7 October 2022). "RTÉ Toy Show The Musical: Everything you need to know ahead of December premiere". Buzz.ie . Retrieved 5 November 2022. You would’ve been forgiven for assuming it was a stage version of the annual Late Late Toy Show on RTÉ One. After all, the pre-Christmas TV special has gradually become more of a theatrical event. Each year there are more song-and-dance routines, the studio has become more of a stage, and the annual event has grown to become a celebration of childhood rather than a look at the latest toys. Ending the show with her beautiful singing was the perfect way to sign off a very successful Toy Show. Adam King, who captured the nation's heart with his Hug For You on Toy Show 2020, is set to beam in for a very special appearance in Toy Show the Musical. Adam King became an instant sensation following his appearance on The Late Late Toy Show
And for most of the weeks, it was different cohorts or different groups of actors. And really prolific actors in the Irish acting scene." She has also been a producer on Saturday Night with Miriam, and in July 2022 she took on the role of Editor, Internal Production and Development - RTÉ Entertainment, Music & Comedy.If this was the story Jane and Katherine wanted to tell, I’d love to be part of it, and let’s see where we get to." How it’s going... Mr Coveney said the pricing of the musical was not positioned against pantomimes but largely against “the big international shows that come to Dublin” from London’s West End or New York’s Broadway. The project was “not decided on a whim” but was in gestation for three years before it made its debut, he added. Maisie, Nell's best friend, will be played in rotation by LilyMai Clancy (age 14, Dublin), Mabel Sweeney (age 15, Dublin) and Sarah Breathnach (age 15, Donegal). LilyMai Clancy Kielty said he had not asked his wife, TV presenter Cat Deeley, for advice on the Toy Show, nor their two sons, aged five and seven, who will be watching from home.
On 13 May 2022, Raidió Teilifís Éireann (RTÉ) announced details of a Christmas musical for the first time, with Toy Show The Musical to premiere at the Convention Centre in Dublin from 10 to 31 December 2022.

Last night, Patrick Kielty presented his first Late Late Toy Show and it’s safe to say, it was a roaring success.
The theme for this year’s extravaganza was festive film Elf and it was a magical night of song, dance, laughter, toys, special moments and festive fun. I don't think we realise how massive this Matilda movie is and how dubliner Alicia Weir is the lead of it!!
Hosting the Toy Show is Kielty’s most daunting challenge since taking over the Late Late. Before his abrupt departure, Tubridy had reinvented the annual extravaganza in his image. His 14 Toy Shows were the highest-rated RTÉ broadcasts this century, with last year’s bringing in 1.6 million viewers. For comparison, 1.37 million watched Ireland lose to New Zealand in the Rugby World Cup. Rugby legends Bundee Aki and Peter O’Mahony walking in while he proudly belted out ‘Ireland’s Call’ is as Irish as it gets. I think then you’ll see the care, from everyone involved so far. Everyone wants to protect this thing that we all feel really strongly about. We all know it. And we can’t harm it. We have to only complement it - the actual show itself." Where it’s heading...Coming full circle from their memorable appearances on the much-loved festive show, the quartet of favourites join an already announced cast for the new musical, which opens this December at The Convention Centre Dublin. The Late Late Toy Show raised over €3 million for The Toy Show Appeal last night – a stark reminder of who the Irish people really are. So, what did you think when you first heard that RTÉ was producing something called Toy Show The Musical? It’s everyone’s obsession now. I think you have to be a bit mad to go down this road of a new Irish musical. That’s The Toy Show: go out there and be yourself. We always say that to them: 'Go on out! Be yourself!'
