INSPIRED by the smash hit million selling albums Dreamboats and Petticoats One,Two, Three and Four, the West End sell out sensation Dreamboats and Petticoats the Musical, featuring some of the greatest hit songs of the Rock ‘n’ Roll era, returns to Birmingham Hippodrome by phenomenal public demand.
And we have a pair of tickets up for grabs for the opening night.
The dazzling success of the first three albums in the Dreamboats and Petticoat’ series sent the message loud and clear. With over two millions copies sold and several weeks at the Number One spot in the compilation charts, the British public were saying that they didn’t just want to listen to pure nostalgia: they’d love to see it as well.
Thus ‘Dreamboats’ was born as a musical, opening at The Churchill Theatre in Bromley in February 2009 to rave critical reviews and widespread audience acclaim. Over a million people have since been enchanted by an evening of pure hedonistic affection for a more innocent era, when love was young and so was rock ‘n’ roll.
Dreamboats and Petticoats the Musical features 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, Three Steps To Heaven, 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.
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.
Dreamboats and Petticoats runs at the Hippodrome from Monday, June 27 to Saturday, July 2. For more details, and to book, see birminghamhippodrome.com.
To be in with a chance of winning a pair of tickets for opening night, just answer the following question: In which Bromley theatre was “Dreamboats” born as a muscial?
