Bill Kenwright presents: Rock
'N' Roll Heaven
// 22-27 Sep

Salute to the '40s // 20-21 Sep

In the 1950’s, a new phenomenon came
blasting through the American airwaves,
over the Atlantic and into our own homes
here Britain. This phenomenon was Rock
‘N’ Roll. The likes of legends such as
Buddy Holly, Roy Orbison, Eddie Cochran,
and of course, the king himself, Elvis,
would soon be entertaining millions all
over the world with their unique style of
music. Now, in 2014, in a limited UK tour,
Bill Kenwright gives audiences a chance to experience two unparalleled
hours of the golden era’s musical legacy.
7.30pm, with 2.30pm matinees on 24 & 27 Sep. Price: £18-£29.

across the site, it's fair to say this weekend at The Historic Dockyard is
going to be full of vintage delight.

Dreamboats and Miniskirts // 22-27 Sep
This fabulous UK touring production is the
sequel inspired by the seven multi-million
selling albums of Dreamboats and Petticoats.
It’s 1963 and Bobby and Laura’s single
'Dreamboats and Petticoats' has not yet taken
off. Both 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 find that singing
voice he has longed for? And Ray to realise
his ambition and manage a top pop act? All
will be revealed in this witty and charming
follow up.
7.30pm, with 2.30pm matinees on 24
& 27 Sep. Price: £19.50-£32.50.
