Half-way through its UK tour, Dreamboats and Petticoats certainly hasn’t lost any momentum.

Expecting nothing less than pure cheesiness harping back to a time when rock and roll was emerging, I was nicely surprised that there was both style and substance to this West End show.

The show is a jukebox musical taking songs from the fifties and early sixties and stringing them together in an swinging setting.

It is based around 39 iconic tracks of the era. The plot is of a naïve boy, Bobby, who doesn’t realise his best friend’s sister, Laura, is in love with him as he is too busy lusting after the ‘Jezebel’ of the youth club.

Meanwhile the object of his affection, Sue, yes she is Run Around Sue, is busy trying to make the older ‘bad boy’ interested in her.

The twists and turns abound, until at the end everybody is paired up correctly. A predictable but entertaining story nonetheless.

One of the high points was Jonathan Bremner as bad boy Norman, who you may remember from X-Factor.

Packed with laughs much to my surprise, the show was a lot more tongue-in-cheek than I expected.

And at the end of the show the audience were up dancing in the aisles.
