Dreamboats and Petticoats has returned to London's West End, for a limited run at the Wyndham's Theatre from 16 October, to coincide with Dreamboats and Petticoats 6, the new instalment from phenomenal music franchise by Universal.

Having played to more than 2 million people since its premiere in 2009, Dreamboats and Petticoats, inspired by the multi-million selling albums, features some of the greatest songs of the Rock 'n' Roll era, when each passing week brought another classic track.

In 1961 emotions run high as young musicians Norman and Bobby compete to win a national song writing competition – and, more importantly, the attention of the gorgeous Sue. But when Bobby discovers that shy Laura is no slouch on the piano, love and rock 'n' roll fame beckons…

Dreamboats and Petticoats is written by Laurence Marks and Maurice Gran, the team behind Goodnight Sweetheart, Birds of a Feather, The New Statesmen and Shine On Harvey Moon, and produced by Bill Kenwright and Laurie Mansfield in association with Universal Music.

It features the classic songs Let's Dance, To Know Him Is To Love Him, Shaking All Over, Bobby's Girl, Little Town Flirt, Only Sixteen, Runaround Sue, Happy Birthday Sweet 16, Let it Be Me, Let's Twist Again and many more from music's golden era.
