"Show great - pity about the seats"
"The show itself was very good, although the understudy playing Bobby was a little weak in his performance. Norman was fantastic. Our biggest problem was with the seats. Very little leg room, and poor viisibility for many of us in the upper circle. The interval saw many people trying out the vacant seats."

"Upper circle tickets allocated, not suitable for those with mobility problems, vertigo or poor eyesight. Very narrow seats no leg room. Luckily not full so able to move forward but still most views poor. If sitting in front rows safety rail obstructs view so spent most performance leaning over or standing"

"Great music and terrific lead singers, a fun show!"
"Tickets were for upper circle, useless for this show, too high,too steep, too little room and view blocked by balcony or other heads. Theatre should have offered to up-grade as there were plenty of vacant seats, audience needs to feel part of the show."

"Entertaining and engaging with all live music"
"Non stop music from start to end, played live by the cast and seamless from start to end. Plenty of singing and toe tapping from the audience with the whole theater up on their feet for the finishing medley. A must for anyone who grew up with 60`s music or has the CD collections of the same name."

"Brought back memories of my long-lost youth"
"The energetic cast of Dream Boats & Petticoats worked very hard during what must have been one of the hottest evenings of the year. Their performance was faultless and the music was full of nostalgia for those (like myself) who was a spotty teenager in the early 1960`s - Yes I was in a `skiffle group` in my church youth club. `The Guildnicks` - but like many others, we did not progress to stardome. Great Show!"

"Excellent entertainment, thoroughly enjoyable!"
"An energetic rendition of the period, bringing back many fond memories of those unique years, when everything in the world was new and fresh, with almost every piece of music destined to become a modern classic, and performers to become icons and legends, some in their own lifetime. Excellent!"

"Very enjoyable"
"Not much of a story but to make a story based on a couple of CD`s must have been tough. All of the songs were well known and we were foot tapping and singing to all of them. Overall very enjoyable."
