He will be appearing as the 'Older Bobby’ and ‘Phil – Bobby’s Dad', who runs the youth club around which the Olivier Award nominated production is based, until 7 January 2012. Oil slick hair, a prehensile Elvis of a pelvis, chat-up lines smoother than an espresso coffee… how could you compete with the Normans of this world? Featuring over 40 pop hits from the fifties and sixties, Dreamboats and Petticoats is the feel-good musical to end them all. The parts have been adapted slightly to bring in more humour between him and his son, played in the show by Scott Bruton.Brian Berg, the executive producer for Universal records stated that there are plans for productions in the US and Australia and the possibility of a feature film in 2012. But will it inspire Bobby and Laura to have one more shot at stardom – Norman to “get off the drains” and fi nd that hit parade voice he has longed for, and Ray to realise his ambition and manage a really top pop act! At first Norman refuses, so Bobby challenges Norman to an "official" fight in a ring, in which Bobby wins.

And once again, we follow the fortunes of Bobby, Laura, Sue, Norman, and the gang as they navigate the trials and occasional tribulations that punctuate their young lives. 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.

Dreamboats and Petticoats features the real story behind the popular songs and performers of the Fifties and early Sixties on which the musical Dreamboats and Petticoats is based. Dreamboats and Petticoats is a 2007 compilation album composed of songs from the 1950s and early 1960s. A third instalment of the Dreamboats and Petticoats franchise has recently been announced, with Dreamboats and Petticoats - The Christmas Party which will open at the Broadway Theatre, Peterborough at the end of 2015.

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. In true jukebox musical form this show smashes through hit after hit after hit with over 30 numbers in the whole production. Fame beckons for our heroine (in Torquay, naturally) contrasting with a summer season at Butlins for her beau, keeping them far apart. Since its premiere in 2009 Dreamboats and Petticoats has become a musical phenomenon, having played to more than two million people across the UK. Of course this is all a matter of taste, but having seen 'Buddy' and enjoyed it so much saw it twice more, I have never really enjoyed the studio recorded cast recording as it lacks any atmosphere.The 103 third parties who use cookies on this service do so for their purposes of displaying and measuring personalized ads, generating audience insights, and developing and improving products.
