You will be purchasing official London theatre tickets from an authorised retailer and member of the Society of Ticket Agents and Retailers. Wanted a CD but not one with the original tracks and although I'm not a fan of recordings with applause, it didn't seem to matter.

At first Norman refuses, so Bobby challenges Norman to an "official" fight in a ring, in which Bobby wins. The cast of Dreamboats and Petticoats on at the Playhouse Theatre will be joined by the legendary Des O'Connor from 3rd October to 7th January making his West End debut.Mark was hardly out of the charts from August 1960 until the end of 1963, during which time he had nine singles chart hits and spent an extraordinary 80 weeks in the hit parade.

Last night it was ‘Dreamboats and Petticoats 3’ or to give it its full title ‘Dreamboats and Petticoats – Bringing On Back the Good Times’ which was what the majority of the septuagenarians and beyond audience at Malvern were there to do.

The latest in the best-selling compilation series, showcasing the era of the birth of rock’n’roll and pop music as we know it today. There's a national song writing competition and emotions run high as talented young musicians Norman and Bobby compete to win the competition, win the hearts of their fans and win Laura's heart. Here spotty Bobby (X Factor finalist Scott Bruton) moons after busty Sue (Jennifer Biddall who played Jessica in Hollyoaks) who has eyes only for Norman (Ben Freeman who spent 10 years as Scott in Emmerdale). Further casting includes AJ Dean as Ray, Jennifer Biddall as Sue, Emma Hatton as Donna, David Cardy as Older Bobby, Patrick Burbridge as Derek, Sophie Byrne as Daisy/Brenda, Deborah Hewitt as Helen, Robin Johnson as Barry and Michael Kantola as Colin.

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. But when Bobby discovers that shy Laura is no slouch on the piano, love and rock ‘n’ roll fame beckons. Yes, yes, I knew Norman back in the days when I was also a spotty mass of hormonal confusion, pouting and snarling my Wednesday nights away at Churchover youth club in the wilds of north Warwickshire. The musical, featuring those songs of the rock 'n' roll era, is set around the years 1957 to 1963 [1] and was written by Laurence Marks and Maurice Gran. This show really is one for those who either lived through this era or happened to be brought up on the sound thanks to their parents.After spending several weeks at the number one spot in the UK Compilation Charts and with over two million copies sold of the first album, the unexpected success of Dreamboats and Petticoats CD series made producers of the series to consider a stage musical adaptation. And even if you’re not of that certain age, then you can still take this rock and roll monster of a session with my blessing, dust over those dancing shoes, and travel back to an era when the world seemed to look far better than it does today and the heavy incense of hope filled the air. His most recent titles include the Des O’Connor Tonight specials, the award-winning ITV talk show Today with des and Mel and his interview this year on Piers Morgan’s Life Stories, which was the highest rated of the series. Hang on Sloopy’ was a real energy boost, an acapella version of ‘Blue Moon’ was something special and the rendition of ‘You Don’t Own Me’ was a nice key change to the evening.

The title ‘Dreamboats and Petticoats’ comes from a nine CD series from Universal Music so as we are only at number 3.

In true jukebox musical form this show smashes through hit after hit after hit with over 30 numbers in the whole production.
