FOLLOWING its phenomenal West End success, Dreamboats and Petticoats, the smash hit musical inspired by the million plus selling albums, returns to The Mayflower in February to replace the cancelled Ray Davies’ Come Dancing.

The dazzling success of the first two albums in the Dreamboats and Petticoats series sent the message loud and clear. With over two 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.

Thus Dreamboats was born as a musical, opening at The Churchill Theatre in Bromley in February 2009 to critical and audience acclaim. Over a million people have since been enchanted by an evening of pure hedonistic affection the era when rock ’n’ roll was young.

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 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.
