Description:
'This lovely show brings the memories flooding back.'
The Telegraph.
'Dreamboats is a nostalgia feast aimed at an audience that listens to Brian Matthew's Sounds of the Sixties on Radio 2 and remembers daring to go and see Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho'
The Independent.
After a successful 2 year run in London, Dreamboats and Petticoats returns for a strictly limited time, this time playing at the Wyndham's Theatre in Leicester Square, on Charing Cross Road.
Inspired by the albums, Bill Kenwright and Laurie Mansfield in association with Universal Music present Dreamboats and Petticoats The Musical, written by Marks and Gran, the team behind Goodnight Sweetheart, Birds Of A Feather, and Shine On Harvey Moon, will give you the greatest time of your life - taking you back to a time when each passing week brought another classic track. Featuring songs from Roy Orbison, The Shadows, Eddie Cochran, Billy Fury, Chuck Berry and many more.
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...
Featuring the hit songs Lets Dance, To Know Him Is To Love Him, Shaking All Over, In Dreams, Bobby's Girl, Three Steps To Heaven, Little Town Flirt, Only Sixteen, Almost Grown, Sleepwalk, Runaround Sue, The Locomotion, Happy Birthday Sweet 16, What A Wonderful World, Half Way To Paradise, Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow, Let's Twist Again and many more hits from music's golden era!

I bought tickets as a Christmas present for my mum and saw the show last night (Monday 7th Feb 2011) expecting it to be more my mums cup of tea. What can I say?

Saw Dreamboats and Petticoats on Sat 19 February. It was a birthday treat for me and what a treat it was. Took me back to the 60's, the good old days of rock ‘n roll.

| Review by Robert, USA |
I’m just visiting from the USA and I went to see Dreamboats and Petticoats at the Playhouse Theatre. I am 73 and thought the performance on Saturday was great! I would see it again if the same cast I heard were performing. I would encourage anyone who enjoys the 50’s era music in the States to see this musical! I have all the songs and it was so nice to hear them sung in England. Keep up the good work! |
| Review by Arran, London |
We have seen the show twice and are looking at going back a third time. This is a Fantastic show, The cast are enjoying themselves and this flows into the audience. Reccomended for children and adults. I would defy anyone to leave this show and not be smiling and having had a fantastic experience. |
| Review by Martyn, London |
Just to thank Hit The Theatre for arranging such good seats for the two London Shows Dreamboats and Petticoats and Blithe Spirit (LINK). We both enjoyed them and were excellent productions. I cannot understand why the critics did not like Blithe Spirit it was great. |
| Review by Tony, London |
I have to say that I was over the moon with the seats you arranged and the overall experience of the Hit The Theatre service. I must admit that I was not sure what to expect, and have a wife and daughter with very high expectations. The seats could not have been better if we had picked them ourselves a year in advance. Thank you very much for being a man of your word and representing a service company that does what it claims. I will be contacting you in future for sure. |
| Review by Lisa, London |
I booked tickets for Dreamboats & Petticoats through Hit The Theatre for the 13 May 2011. I was a bit concerned because we weren’t given the option to choose our seats. I must say I was delighted that we were the fourth row from the stage!!! I had the best time and cannot wait to book another show, I am well and truly addicted to musicals now, thank you very much!!! |
| Review by Jane, London |
Went to see show on Saturday 7th May with my sister and friend. What a brillant show, we had great seats, the cast were fantastic and on the go the whole show the music was fantastic. It left us leaving the theatre on a all time high. Will be going back again. It’s just wonderful! |

We all had a wonderful afternoon. Roger, Cilla, Keith and Dawn. |

| Review by Raman, London |
Dreamboats & Petticoats is a family miucsal especially suited to those of an older generation who have fond memories of those 50 s classics as this show is filled with them!! It also tells the classic story of boy meet girl and everything that follows! Its definitely a show for all the family and highly recommendable as a family day out! Especially if the family has one or two generations within it! With cheap tickets always available this show is a must see! |
| Review by Brin, Wales |
Saw the show and it’s absolutely superb. Being 21 in 1961! The quality of the acting and singing was beyond belief. Very highly recommended. |
