Inspired by the smash hit multi-million selling albums Dreamboats

and Petticoats One, Two,Three, Four and Five, the West End sell out

sensation Dreamboats and Petticoats The Musical features some of

the greatest hit songs of the Rock ‘n’ Roll era. The dazzling success of

the first four albums in the Dreamboats and Petticoats series sent the

message loud and clear. With over 2 million copies sold and several

weeks at the number One spot in the compilation charts, the

Great British public were saying that they didn’t just want to

listen to pure nostalgia: they’d love to see it as well.

In 1961 emotions run high as young musicians norman and Bobby

compete to win a national song writing competition - and, more

importantly, the attention of the gorgeous Sue! But when

Bobby discovers that shy Laura is no slouch on the piano,

love and rock ‘n’ roll fame beckons.

Featuring classic tracks from Roy Orbison, The Shadows, Eddie

Cochran, Billy Fury and many more, including Let’s Dance, To Know

Him Is To Love Him, Shaking All Over, Bobby’s Girl, Little Town Flirt,

Only Sixteen, Runaround Sue, Happy Birthday Sweet 16, Let It Be Me,

Great Pretender, C’mon Everybody, Let’s Twist Again and

many more hits from music’s golden era!

Dreamboats and Petticoats - the songs will live forever!
