Dreamboats and Petticoats reviews from critics, the press and previous bookers.

They say...

We’ve had musicals based on novels, musicals based on old movies, musicals based on terrible scripts by Ben Elton. But Dreamboats and Petticoats must be the first tune-and-toe show to have been inspired by a CD.

In an age when the record industry is up to its ears in trouble, the Dreamboats and Petticoats compilations have sold more than a million copies, gathering together British and American pop hits of the late Fifties and the early Sixties before the Beatles exploded on to the scene.

Having rocked around the country during 2009, this musical - 42 numbers based on two chart-topping albums - has finally transferred into the West End.

It owes its existence entirely to the sixties songs being revived, many of which are lucky to have survived for almost a half-century and are unlikely to rate as classic pop.

The show is about teenagers and their painful boy-girl relationships. It is loud, lively and energetic, a constant reminder of the bobby socks era with a young cast dancing and ever-ready to hand jive.

Took my mum for her 72nd birthday and she loved it. Being 40 I wasn't sure if it would be my thing but I thought it was great although I was probably one of the youngest there!

I LOVED THE SHOW... REAL FUN IF YOU ARE FRIEND OF THE 60S SONGS. SOME FEMALE CAST PLAYED THE NAIVE TEENIE GIRLS IN A VERY PUSHY WAY SO THEY LOOKED "UNNATURALLY NAIVE" BUT ALL IN ALL, THE SHOW IS FUN.

It was a great night out, but more for the older generation. Tom O'Conner still has all the moves and the singing voice.

Some excellent classic tunes that got every one up dancing at the end of the show with some even taking to the aisles! Excellent singing from the cast with some excellent vocals. You got to go and see it!

Fantastic evening out. We took our father-in-law who is 70 & I don't think I have seen him smile & enjoy himself this much for months. The atmosphere was highly charged, young & old ended the show dancing & singing along in the aisles. A great evening thanks to all involved.

This show was far better than I expected, lots of energy and great singing and dancing, by no means a small player in the West End. The cast was incredible and the presence of Tony Christie was a plus. I have seen many West End musicals and I have rarely left as entertained and in such high spirits as this one.

Brilliant show, live music and singing was brilliant, young and old were all singing along. Great story line match the old songs well, will see it again.
Fabulous Finale every one was up in the audience singing and dancing!!!
