WHAT HAPPENED TO ‘BOBBY & LAURA’ AND ‘NORMAN & SUE’...?
THE SEQUEL TO
DREAMBOATS AND PETTICOATS
BILL KENWRIGHT AND LAURIE MANSFIELD IN ASSOCIATION WITH UNIVERSAL MUSIC PRESENT
Mon 30 Mar - Sat 4 April 2015 7.30pm
Their story continues...
Matinees: Wed 1 & Sat 4 April 2.30pm
It’s 1963, and the world is changing. Bobby and
Laura’s single DREAMBOATS AND PETTICOATS has
not taken off. Norman and Sue have settled down
to non-marital bliss – and a baby! But Ray and Donna
seem blissfully happy…
The advent of the Beatles and the Merseyside
sound is inspirational.
But will it inspire Bobby and Laura to have one more
shot at stardom – Norman to “get off the drains”
and find that singing voice he has longed for,
and Ray to realise his ambition and manage a really
top pop act!?
All will be revealed in a follow up with the same wit,
charm, and great songs as DREAMBOATS AND
PETTICOATS. Many of the songs are from the next
period in pop history…

Cheryl, Mike & Jay

with Bobby McVey
Music
Winners of A Song For Europe and
The Eurovision Song Contest 1981
and with over 20 singles released
including 3 number ones,“My Camera
Never Lies”, “Land Of Make Believe”
and of course, “Making Your Mind
Up”, they sold in excess of 15 million
records, spending 219 weeks in the
UK charts alone! “Making Your Mind
Up” went to No 1 in nine countries!
Although working for several years
now, there was obviously one thing
missing - a fourth person! The vocals
were always there, but the dance
routines that Fizz was so famous
for, were definitely lacking, so in
comes Bobby McVey who was also a
Eurovision entrant but in 1984 for the
UK and yes, they still rip the skirts off!

Rich Hall’s critically acclaimed grouchy,
deadpan style has established him as
a master of absurdist irony and the king
of rapid-fire wit. The award-winning
Montana native renowned for his
expertly crafted tirades and quick fire
banter with audiences and delightful
musical sequences saddles up and
hitches his wagon to tour the British
Isles once again. This is a comedian
who’s plain spoken growling indignation
and acerbic observations have an
unerring talent for hitting his targets
with precision every time, leaving
his audience hanging on every word
winning him fans all over the globe.

phenomenon” – The Sun
“Now is the time to grab this
chance to see the great man

Sunday 10th May 7.30pm
We’ve Only Just Begun
A celebration of the Carpenters music
and the spirit of Karen Carpenter.
Music
Karen was the voice of the multi-hit
making group The Carpenters, who
along with her brother Richard, scored an
unprecedented 17 consecutive billboard
US top ten hits. The timeless quality
of the Carpenters music makes it as
relevant today as when they scored their
first UK hit with “Close to You” in 1970.
Karen Carpenter had a unique voice, so
unique in fact that it has proven almost
impossible to duplicate, its deep smoky
emotional edge creating that uniqueness
that is so hard to perfect. Now for the
very first time in over 30 years the
voice that melted a thousand romantic
hearts lives again through Toni Lee, in
the show “We’ve Only Just Begun, the
Carpenters Greatest Love Songs.”

THE EAST ANGLIAN AMATEUR Premiere of
Legally Blonde The Musical
Community
‘Oh My God You Guys!’ Based
on the 2001 film starring Reese
Witherspoon, Legally Blonde The
Musical is one of the funniest and most
fabulous modern musicals around,
having already won the coveted Best
Musical 2011 at the Olivier Awards.
It tells the story of Elle Woods, a sorority
girl who can handle anything! She enrolls
at Harvard Law School in order to win
back her ex-boyfriend Warner Huntington
III. She soon discovers that her knowledge
of the law can help others, and she
successfully defends exercise queen
Brooke Wyndham in a murder trial. With
help from her new-found friends Paulette,
Emmett and her chihuahua Bruiser, she
learns that it’s so much better to be smart!

possible to Suffolkate .. and yet totally
out of the question to Norfolkate. They
are contemplating a poignant rendition
of “I Left my Heart in Carlton Colville”
to curry favour with cultural locals.
This all singing, all dancing romantic
comedy is an absolute must for all Musical
Theatre Fans. It’s simply not to be missed!

Joe Orton’s final play is a hilarious farce which revolves around Dr. Prentice,
a psychiatrist attempting to seduce his attractive prospective secretary,
Geraldine Barclay. As part of the job interview, he convinces her to undress.
When his wife enters, he attempts to cover up his activity by hiding the girl
behind a curtain. His wife, however, is also being seduced and blackmailed
by Nicholas Beckett. She therefore promises Nicholas the post as secretary,
which adds further confusion, including Nicholas and Geraldine dressing
as the opposite sex. Dr. Prentice’s clinic is then faced with a government
inspection ... What follows is a near faultless piece of theatrical invention
as these ingredients form the basis for a perfect recipe of outrageous
confusion!
