The dazzling success of the first three albums in the ‘Dreamboats and Petticoats’ series sent the message loud and clear. With over 2 millions 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 rave critical reviews and widespread audience acclaim. Over a million people have since been enchanted by an evening of pure hedonistic affection for a more innocent era, when love was young and so was rock ‘n’ roll.

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 spectacular feel-good production, which will play at the

Marina for just one week from February 20, promises ‘the greatest time

of your life’ – taking you back to a time when each passing week brought

another classic track.

Featuring songs from Roy Orbison, The Shadows, Eddie Cochran, Billy

Fury, Chuck Berry 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, Sleepwalk, Runaround Sue, Happy Birthday Sweet 16, What A

Wonderful World, Let’s Twist Again, Let It Be Me and many more hits from

music’s golden era!

Dreamboats will be the first full scale musical to play at the Marina in

over a year and it is believed a number of other major tours and productions are in the pipeline in readiness for the venues proposed move into a charitable trust later this year.
