Dreamboats and Petticoats The Musical visits The Mayflower, Southampton, for one week only from Monday.
In 1961 emotions run high as talented young musicians Norman and Bobby compete to win the hearts of their adoring female fans – and more importantly, the gorgeous Laura. But when Laura shows that she’s no slouch with the guitar, rock ’n’ roll fame beckons.
Dreamboats and Petticoats became one of the biggest-selling albums of the decade after its release last year, selling more than 600,000 copies. A second album, Dreamboats and Petticoats Two, also rocketed up the charts.
Inspired by the albums, Dreamboats and Petticoats The Musical is written by Marks and Gran, the team behind Goodnight Sweetheart, Birds Of A Feather and Shine On Harvey Moon.
Scott Bruton, one of last year’s X Factor finalists, stars in this new musical, along with Emmerdale’s Ben Freeman.
