Dreamboats And Petticoats

Product Information

But the boy-meets-girl premise is predictable, and in the rush to get from song to song (there are almost 40), character and plot development take a back seat. A hugely talented cast includes Sam Attwater (EastEnders, Dancing on Ice) as Norman, David Ribi as Bobby, Susannah Allman as Sue, Samantha Dorrance as Laura, and Mark Wynter as Phil and Older Bobby.

A final special shout out to audio man Chris Whybrow who delivered a pretty authentic 60s sound – Sheridan Lloyd for magnificent MD-ship and nimble fingered keys, plus my top man – Daniel Kofi Wealthyland – for being the most exciting drummer I’ve heard in a long while.

Yes, it’s a long-lost England in which the generational void is not so much a gap more a yawning chasm. who reprises his hits, notably the evergreen Venus in Blue Jeans – in a three-song medley that immediately brings to mind coffee bar romances, snogging in the back row of the ‘pictures’, or the downside of all that, standing on the cold stone of the cinema steps, watching the minutes tick by as you slowly and miserably realise you’ve been stood up.Inspired by the smash hit albums, Dreamboats and Petticoats, the brilliant tale of rock 'n' roll romance continues its record breaking run at the Playhouse Theatre.

It didn’t help the cause that I had reviewed ‘Beautiful’ the Carole King musical the night before where the talented Douglas McGrath has written a book that is as sharp as it is crisp – lifting and complimenting the huge songbook. He will be appearing as the 'Older Bobby’ and ‘Phil – Bobby’s Dad', who runs the youth club around which the Olivier Award nominated production is based, until 7 January 2012. It was first performed at The Churchill Theatre in Bromley, England, in February 2009, followed by a UK tour. Further casting includes AJ Dean as Ray, Jennifer Biddall as Sue, Emma Hatton as Donna, David Cardy as Older Bobby, Patrick Burbridge as Derek, Sophie Byrne as Daisy/Brenda, Deborah Hewitt as Helen, Robin Johnson as Barry and Michael Kantola as Colin. Hang on Sloopy’ was a real energy boost, an acapella version of ‘Blue Moon’ was something special and the rendition of ‘You Don’t Own Me’ was a nice key change to the evening.

I reckon the producers know this too, waking us up at the end of this two-hour snooze with rousing versions of C'mon Everybody and At the Hop that get the audience on their feet and out into the street fully awake.
