Dreamboats and Petticoats

Palace Theatre, Manchester
Monday 3 – Saturday 8 February

Inspired by the smash hit multi-million selling albums of the same name, the West End hit DREAMBOATS AND PETTICOATS returns to the Palace Theatre, Manchester next month.

Since premiering in 2009 and having played to more than two million people across the UK, Dreamboats and Petticoats features some of the greatest songs of the Rock ‘n’ Roll era, when each passing week brought another classic track.

The show features much-loved hits from Roy Orbison, The Shadows, Eddie Cochran, Billy Fury 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 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 attentions of the gorgeous Sue. But when Bobby discovers that shy Laura is no slouch on the piano, love, and rock ‘n’ roll fame beckon.

Dreamboats and Petticoats is written by Laurence Marks and Maurice Gran, the team behind Goodnight Sweetheart, Birds of a Feather, The New Statesman, Shine on Harvey Moon and of course, Dreamboats and Petticoat’s sequel, Save the Last Dance For Me.

Dreamboats and Petticoats is produced by Bill Kenwright and Laurie Mansfield in association with Universal Music. Directed by Bob Tompson; Co-direction and Musical Supervision by Keith Strachan; Choreography by Carole Todd; Designed by Sean Cavanagh; Lighting Designed by Mark Howett; Sound Designed by Ben Harrison; Executive Producer Brian Berg.
