Following a recent run at the Lowry, the hit West End musical Dreamboats
and Petticoats
returns to the North West again in the New Year, stopping at off at the Blackpool Grand.

The
show, written by Marks and Gran, the team behind Goodnight
Sweetheart
, Birds Of A Feather and Shine On Harvey Moon,
takes you back to a time when each passing week brought another classic track.
The show features songs from Roy Orbison, The Shadows, Eddie Cochran, Billy
Fury, Chuck Berry and many more and is based on the successful compilation albums of the same name.

This
1961 set show has toured the UK and hit the West End at the Savoy Theatre, prior to the opening of hit
Broadway transfer Legally Blonde. It proved to be so popular that it transfered the Playhouse in London and currently stars Des O’Connor.

This musical features the hits “Lets Dance”, “To Know Him Is To Love
Him”, “Shaking All Over” and many more  from music’s golden era.

Dreamboats and Petticoats runs at the Blackpool Grand from 23 – 28 January, 2012.
