Synopsis [edit]
It'south 1961, where Bobby, an awkward but talented teenager, is auditioning for a band at the local Youth Club. He virtually gets the office, just is edged out past a last minute inflow to the auditions: the cool and confident Norman. The teenagers that hang out at Youth Club all know each other, fifty-fifty if they're not necessarily friends. These teens include Bobby and his best friend Ray, Ray'southward younger sister Laura who has a beat on Bobby, absurd daughter Sue whom Bobby has a shell on, and Donna, who is Sue's friend.
Bobby's male parent announces that the Youth Lodge association is holding the first National song writing competition. Bobby and Laura, who have like tastes in music, agree to write a song together. At start they make some progress, with Bobby coming upward with an thought and basic tune, which Laura takes on to expand into a full song. Simply Bobby then starts ignoring Laura when Sue, the daughter he has a crush on, starts flirting with him. Laura warns Bobby that Sue is but pretending to be into him in lodge to make Norman jealous, but Bobby doesn't care.
The Youth Club are taken on a road trip to a local carnival, and their emotions run high. Ray and Donna assemble and get a couple. Sue's plan to brand Norman jealous works, and Norman takes her away to be alone. Bobby is crushed, and Laura tells him "I told you so". Notwithstanding, when the whole group gathers together at the end of night, Norman boasts to the others that he went "all the mode" with Sue. Sue is enraged and humiliated, insisting that they but kissed. Bobby confronts Norman, insisting that he apologize to Sue. At get-go Norman refuses, and so Bobby challenges Norman to an "official" fight in a ring, in which Bobby wins. Norman apologizes to Sue, and Sue is ecstatically grateful to Bobby and happily becomes his girl.
Laura tries to remind Bobby almost their songwriting commitment but to no avail, since all his time is dedicated to Sue. Norman is too being ignored by Sue, even subsequently apologizing and promising to get better. Norman then approaches Laura, both flirting with her with suggestions that what he actually needs is a "good" daughter, and that they should write a song together. Bobby is confused and upset when he hears about this from Ray, who too tells Bobby that Laura has had feelings for him for a long time. Bobby and Sue intermission up when Bobby accidentally causes Sue to autumn out his bedroom window, merely when he approaches Laura to reconcile, she claims that he only started to notice her considering she'south started dressing nicer and doing her hair.
Laura'due south 16th birthday party is held at the Youth Gild. She and Sue decide to put the awkwardness between them to the by, and agree to be friends. Norman and Sue reconcile.

It and then jumps to the last National operation, where Bobby and Laura win with the results of the joint efforts, the popular song "Dreamboats and Petticoats".
Development [edit]
Afterward spending several weeks at the number one spot in the U.k. Compilation Charts and with over two one thousand thousand copies sold of the first album, the unexpected success of Dreamboats and Petticoats CD series fabricated producers of the series to consider a stage musical adaptation. Brian Berg, the manager of Universal Music TV (UMTV) and director of Universal Music Great britain, reportedly saw a niche in the market place for older audiences who preferred the music of their teenage years in comparison to the seemingly inaccessible youth-driven playlists on current radio stations. Berg saw the adaptation of a stage musical every bit a move that "would enhance the brand" and therefore got in touch with Beak Kenwright, producer Laurie Mansfield, managing director Bob Tomson, musical managing director Keith Strachan, choreographer Carole Todd and writers Laurence Marks and Maurice Gran to pen the book of the show. He had "the bones idea of youth clubs and nostalgia and a songwriting competition" as the basis of the bear witness because he was a teenager in the sixties who attended a local youth club in Finsbury Park, north London. He added, "As kids growing upwardly in the Sixties we all played in bands, I was a drummer in The Sound Barrier, the greatest unsigned ring of the Sixties."[1]
