Dreamboats and Petticoats: Edinburgh

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 new feel-good musical production will give you 'the greatest time of your life', taking you back to a time when each passing week brought another classic hit song. 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… The show is built around classic songs by Roy Orbison, The Shadows, Eddie Cochran and Billy Fury. The jivingest jukebox in UK theatre also pumps out timeless early rock smashes made famous by other artists, including 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 and more.
