Smash hit musical Dreamboats & Petticoats returns to Cheltenham starring Sixties heartthrob Mark Wynters

Dreamboats and Petticoats is coming to the Everyman Theatre next week, to charm and delight audiences of all ages. Inspired by the million-selling albums, the show sees Bobby & Laura, Norman, Sue & the gang get back together again to bring on back the good times.

Hit recording star of Venus in Blue Jeans, Go Away Little Girl, It’s Almost Tomorrow and many more, Mark Wynter will be joining a company of established Dreamboats and Petticoats favourites from the past fifteen years.

 

Mark Wynter (Larry) is an English actor and former singer, who had four Top 20 singles in the 1960s. Including his 1962 single Venus In Blue Jeans which peaked at No 4, giving him his biggest hit and winning his first Silver Disc. 

 

Mark has starred in many musicals, plays and pantomimes over the years, including playing the lead role of Phantom in Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Phantom Of The Opera in London’s West End. In 2013 at London’s Wyndhams Theatre, Mark starred in the musical Dreamboats And Petticoats, and he is delighted once again to be Bringing On Back The Good Times!

 

Elizabeth Carter and David Ribi, Dreamboats and Petticoats’ most successful ever co-stars, lead the cast in the third musical inspired by the latest release in the series of smash-hit, multimillion-selling Dreamboats & Petticoats albums. Bringing On Back The Good Times is filled with wit, charm and songs from the golden era of Rock ‘n Roll. 

 

Elizabeth Carter’s (Laura) stage credits include; Lloyd George Knew My Father (Windsor Theatre Royal); Rain Man (UK tour); and Save The Last Dance For Me (UK Tour). While David Ribi’s (Bobby) stage credits include; Mamma Mia (UK Tour); The Rocky Horror Show (European Tour); Hairspray (UK Tour).

 

Bringing on Back the Good Times finds Laura (Elizabeth Carter) with a successful solo career, while her partner Bobby (David Ribi) has left the spotlight and re-joined his former group Norman and The Conquests at St Mungo’s Youth Club.

 

The adventures that Bobby and the rest of the gang go through together, include a season at Butlins, and an appearance at The Eurovision Song Contest – but most of all leads them straight back into each other’s arms and bringing on back the good times indeed.

 

With book by Laurance Marks and Maurice Gran, and musical supervision by Keith Strachan, Bringing on Back the Good Times is packed with some of the greatest songs ever written, from Roy Orbison, Eddie Cochran, Elvis Presley, The Walker Brothers and many, many more.
