Kid Shamrock is the Off Broadway play based on the life of former world rated boxer, "Irish" Bobby Cassidy.
The Irish light heavyweight spent more time drinking than training for that fight, the biggest of his career.
Seamus McDonagh, who fought Evander Holyfield in 1990, has held the title role since the play's debut in 2007.
Professional boxer Richie Neves acted in the play and later that evening won a six-round decision on the boxing card.
Patrick Joseph Connolly and Vinny Vella, both of whom appeared in The Sopranos, are veteran Kid Shamrock cast members.
