I am really looking forward to this, Dreamboats and Petticoats, The Musical is on tour across the UK and Ireland this Autumn stopping off at Dublin’s Gaiety Theatre from August 10th to September 10th.
This musical was seemingly born from a series of compilation albums which topped the charts, featuring the songs of Roy Orbison, Chuck Berry, The Shadows and Eddie Cochran.
It follows the story of two budding musicians trying to win a national song competition and was written by Laurence Marks and Maurice Gran, the team behind Goodnight Sweetheart, Birds of a Feather, The New Statesmen and Shine On Harvey Moon so you know there is going to be quality writing in there. It’s directed by Bob Tomson and musical supervision is by Keith Strachan.
Tickets range from 25 to 55 and are available from the Gaiety Box Office or ticketmaster.ie. The Box Office at South King Street can be reached on +353 (1) 6771717
