• Save The Last Dance For Me - The Musical

    "The entire cast are incredibly talented.  The on-stage band play to perfection and I loved the acapella numbers which were extremely impressive and utterly mesmerising….the music is brilliant!  I may not have been around in the Sixties but after watching Save The Last Dance For Me, I wish I was!"

    West End Frame (Andrew Tomlins, Editor) 5 Mar 2013

    "If you’re a certain age, you’ll love Save the Last Dance, as it takes you back to your youth. If you’re younger, it’ll have you wishing you were there"

    4* Edinburgh Theatre Annals (Martin Gray) 22 Feb 2013

  • Save The Last Dance For Me - The Musical

    "Doc Pomus and Mort Shuman wrote one iconic pop song after another and its their superb catalogue that powers this jukebox musical...the lead roles...some of the best singing I’ve heard in musicals...played wonderfully well by the cast on guitars, drums and saxophones. These kids really do work for their fame….you will leave having been reminded of how glorious pop music can be when played and sung with the energy of youth"

    Broadwayworld (Gary Naylor) 5 Mar 2013

  • Save The Last Dance For Me - The Musical

    "..the music is glorious. Big, loud, stomping, and filled with saxophones, this blast down memory lane has feet tapping, hands clapping and sheer enjoyment all the way. The 12 strong cast of dancers, musicians and singers are absolute perfection, jiving and twisting their way through hit after hit"

    4* Edinburgh Lothian Life (Ros MacKenzie) 20 Feb 2013

  • Save The Last Dance For Me - The Musical

    "A refreshing and exuberant musical, this song and dance extravaganza really does hit all the right notes! ..a story of passion and prejudice…I loved the Rock and Roll sound of the live band and was extremely impressed with the acapella numbers….its a golden ticket to a golden age when rock was young and everything you wanted to say, do or feel expressed in a song. The hits just keep on coming, this masterpiece has it all…let this extremely talented cast take you on board with the American airforce and surrender yourself to their music"

    Derby Telegraph (Andrew Murfin) 8 Feb 2013

  • Save The Last Dance For Me - The Musical

    "Rarely do you get to see the spectacular tunes of the early days of rock and roll performed live...this show has 2 things which should ensure it stands the test of time: great songs performed by a live band and a credible story."

    Kent Messenger (The What’s On blog/Chris Price) 18 Jan 2013

  • Save The Last Dance For Me - The Musical

    "Save the last dance is a toe-tapping sensation….it Rocked into His Majesty’s Theatre this week, to a rapturous reception from theatregoers…an audience of all ages packed into the theatre…tale of first love and forbidden love…the band are so good, choreographed to perfection…..this is a brilliant performance..the lead singers really did show such talent….everybody left with a smiles on their faces"

    Aberdeen Turriff Advertiser (Kirstie Ross) 15 Feb 2013

  • Save The Last Dance For Me - The Musical

    "cheerful nostalgia with a monumental soundtrack...era defining hits...a cracking night of live entertainment..."

    4* Edinburgh Evening News (Josie Balfour) 20 Feb 2013

  • Save The Last Dance For Me - The Musical

    "This is the kind of show which wants its crowd to be dancing in the aisles…Director Bill Kenwright admitted he puts on at least one show a year this is just for him…..perhaps he should indulge himself a little more often."

    Kent Messenger 18 Jan 2013

  • Save The Last Dance For Me - The Musical

    "Rolling back years in rocking style...from classic post-war tunes to early rock and roll, the music gave a beat and rhythm to the production that kept the audience singing until the final curtain fell...entertainment at its best packed with tunes which were revolutionary in their day but have become well-loved classics for today’s generation"

A brand new musical featuring the hits of Doc Pomus and Mort Shuman!

This nostalgic, feel-good musical journey will transport you back to music’s golden era as we follow two teenage sisters, Jennifer and Marie, through the summer of 1963. Full of freedom and high spirits they embark on a family holiday to the coast and a traditional seaside town. The young siblings soon discover much more than just sea and sand when they meet a handsome American airman, who invites them to a dance at the nearby United States Air Force base.

But young love and holiday romance is never that simple and the sisters soon realise that while the world around them is still watching itself in black and white, life and love can be much more colourful.

Songs include: ‘A Teenager in Love’, Sweets For My Sweet’, ’Turn Me Loose’, ‘Here I Go Again’, ’Viva Las Vegas’, ‘Little Sister’,’His Latest Flame’, ‘Suspicion’,’Can’t Get Used to Losing You’ and ’Save the Last Dance For Me’
