Featuring swingin’ songs such as “Let’s Dance”, “Only Sixteen”, “Great Pretender” and “Let’s Twist Again”, Dreamboats and Petticoats is the rocking musical not to be missed!

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. Mark Wynter, whose many hits started in 1960 with his top ten version of “Image of a Girl”, will join the cast of “Dreamboats and Petticoats” at the Wyndham’s theatre from Tuesday 20 November.Inspired by Universal’s multimillion selling album series which now boasts seven double compilation albums and a myriad of one off special releases!

Joseph Lukehurst as Norman, lead singer of the Conquests – well, it would be, wouldn’t it – is the first one to grab the slim lapels of your Beatle jacket, get you on your feet, and set the rock ball rolling. I grew up on the golden era of 50s and 60s music and remember pulling out the rock n roll cassette and playing it on every car journey as a child. I immediately said yes to this opportunity and hope that we can provide young hopefuls with a new channel besides the X-Factor and Britain’s Got Talent.Originally the show opened in Bromley in February 2009 to rave critical reviews and widespread audience acclaim.
