Rock 'n' rolling into town

THE sound of rock 'n' roll is coming to town as hit West End musical Dreamboats And Petticoats takes to the stage at Grimsby Auditorium – and you can win tickets to be there.

Hot on the heels of a successful run of Blood Brothers, yet another spectacular from legendary stage producer Bill Kenwright is set to delight local audiences.

Dreamboats And Petticoats is written by Laurence Marks and Maurice Gran, the team behind Goodnight Sweetheart, Birds Of A Feather, The New Statesmen and Shine On Harvey Moon.

This new feel-good musical production will take you back to a time when each passing week brought another classic music track.

And it stars a few famous faces too.

Sharon Daulton, the Auditorium's marketing manager, said: "In 1961, emotions run high as young musicians Norman and Bobby compete to win a national song writing competition – and, more importantly, the attention of the gorgeous Sue.

"But when Bobby discovers that shy Laura is no slouch on the piano, love and rock 'n' roll fame beckons...

"Francesca Jackson, the popular finalist from the hit BBC show I'd Do Anything, stars as the feisty Sue alongside Grease Is The Word finalist Wayne Smith.

"They are performing with a host of talented theatre actors and actresses, including Josh Capper (High School Musical), Jonathan Bremner (Summer Holiday), Lauren Hood (Carousel) and Peter Gerald (Little Shop Of Horrors, Les Miserables).

"And not only that, the show features classic hits from music's golden era, including Roy Orbison, The Shadows, Eddie Cochran, Billy Fury and many more, including Let's Dance, To Know Him Is To Love Him, Shaking All Over, Bobby's Girl, Poetry In Motion, Little Town Flirt, Only Sixteen, Runaround Sue, Happy Birthday Sweet 16, Let It Be Me, Great Pretender, C'mon Everybody and Let's Twist Again."

The Grimsby Telegraph has teamed up with the Auditorium to give away three pairs of tickets to see the show, which opens on November 2.
