Dreamboats and Miniskirts

Dreamboats and Miniskirts

The sequel to Dreamboats and Petticoats. Read more …

Don't miss this sensational 60s musical packed with hits including It's In His Kiss, Twist and Shout, Pretty Woman and The Hippy Hippy Shake.

What happened to ‘Bobby & Laura’ and ‘Norman & Sue’…? It’s 1963, and the world is changing. Bobby and Laura’s single Dreamboats and Petticoats has not taken off. Norman and Sue have settled down to non marital bliss – and a baby! But Ray and Donna seem blissfully happy…

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 singing voice he has longed for, and Ray to realise his ambition and manage a really top pop act!?

All will be revealed in a follow up with the same wit, charm, and great songs as Dreamboats and Petticoats. Many of the songs are from the next period in pop history…


The critical consensus

Dreamboats and Miniskirts is a feel-good musical with a great selection of pop-hit classics.

A fun night out, but as it builds past a climactic and nicely edgy version of Hippy Hippy Shake, to send the audience out into the night with a winsome When You’re Young and in Love, that tang of rose-tinted nostalgia sweeps back in.

It’s hard to resist the conclusion that there never was a better time to be young in Britain or a moment more full of possibilities.
