The first five albums in the Dreamboats and Petticoats series sold more than four million copies and hit the number one spot in the compilation charts.

Set in 1961, emotions are running high as young musicians Norman and Bobby compete to win a national song writing competition – and, more importantly, the attention of Sue. But when Bobby discovers that shy Laura is no slouch on the piano, love and rock‘n’roll fame beckons.

Written by Laurence Marks and Maurice Gran, the writers behind TV classics Goodnight Sweetheart and Birds of a Feather, the show features classic tracks from Roy Orbison, The Shadows, Eddie Cochran and more. Tracks featured include Let’s Dance, To Know Him Is To Love Him, Shaking All Over, Bobby’s Girl and Little Town Flirt.

Among those starring in the show is local actress Elizabeth Carter, originally from Washington, who returns as Laura.
