Overview

Inspired by the smash hit million+ selling albums Dreamboats and Petticoats - which rocketed to the top of the charts within the first week of its release in November 2008 - and Dreamboats and Petticoats 2, comes a brand new musical featuring some of the greatest hit songs of the rock ‘n’ roll era.
Written by Laurence Marks and Maurice Gran, the team behind Goodnight Sweetheart, Birds of a Feather, The New Statesmen and Shine On Harvey Moon, this spectacular new feel-good production will give you ‘the greatest time of your life’ – taking you back to a time when each passing week brought another classic track.
In 1961 emotions run high as talented 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, 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
