The Show
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.

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.

| | | Review score:   | 14/2/2012 | | "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."

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"

Theatre should have offered to up-grade as there were plenty of vacant seats, audience needs to feel part of the show."
