Inspired by the smash hit multi-million selling albums

Dreamboats and Petticoats One, Two,Three And Four, the

West End sell out sensation Dreamboats and Petticoats

The Musical features some of the greatest hit songs of the

Rock ‘n’ Roll era. The dazzling success of the first four albums in

the Dreamboats and Petticoats series sent the message loud and

clear. With over 2 million copies sold and several weeks at the

Number One spot in the compilation charts, the Great British

public were saying that they didn’t just want to listen to pure

nostalgia: they’d love to see it as well.

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.

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, 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!

Dreamboats and Petticoats - the songs will live forever!

The love story that gripped Paris.

A tragic tale of searing passion and memorable

music, La Traviata is Verdi’s outstanding

interpretation of one of the most popular love

stories of the 19th century, La dame aux Camelias.

Based on a true story, it tells of the passionate

consumptive Violetta. There are many echoes

of Verdi’s own life in La Traviata and he threw

himself into the music. The highlights include

The Brindisi, the best known drinking song in

opera, the duet Un Di Felice and Violetta’s

haunting aria Addio Del Passato.
