DREAMBOATS AND MINISKIRTS Coming to The Marlowe Theatre Next Month

SHOWCASING the greatest hit songs of the 1960s, Dreamboats And Miniskirts comes to The Marlowe Theatre, Canterbury, next month (July).

The show is the sequel to Dreamboats And Petticoats, which premiered in 2009, and became a musical phenomenon, playing to more than two million people across the UK. It was inspired by Universal's multi-million selling album series which now boasts seven double compilation albums and a myriad of one-off special releases.

It is 1963 and the Petticoats gang are growing up and facing new challenges. Bobby and Laura's first single, Dreamboats And Petticoats, went to the top of the charts, but they haven't been able to repeat that success with any further records. Norman and Sue have settled down to non-marital bliss - and a baby! And Ray and Donna seem blissfully happy in their professional lives... or are they?

The advent of the Beatles and the Merseyside sound is inspirational. But will it inspire Bobby and Laura to have one more shot at stardom, Norman to "get off the drains" and find that hit parade voice he has longed for, and Ray to realise his ambition and manage a really top pop act?

Dreamboats And Petticoats features many hits, from Twist & Shout to Handy Man to Pretty Woman, One Fine Day and many more.Dreamboats and Miniskirts is written by Laurence Marks and Maurice Gran, the team behind Goodnight Sweetheart, Birds Of A Feather, The New Statesman, Shine On Harvey Moon, Save The Last Dance For Me and of course, Dreamboats and Petticoats.

Dreamboats And Miniskirts is at The Marlowe Theatre from Monday 20 to Saturday 25 July, with performances at 7.30pm and 2.30pm Thursday and Saturday. Tickets, priced £18 to £37.50, are from the Box Office on 01227 787787 or at marlowetheatre.com.
