Once Upon a Dream’ was a hit for Billy Fury who was arguably the biggest British solo star of the era: his 1960’s hit-rate was incredible: 24 hits across the decade, a record equaled only by The Beatles.

In essence, this show features an excellent, well-directed cast and a superb songbook – so yes bring back the good times but with perhaps a less crude and lightweight script. A vibrant, young and talented cast took over the stage with their energy - singing, dancing and saxophone playing. Since his first TV appearance in 1963 he has starred in his own shows for over 45 years – longer than anyone else anywhere in the world.Last night it was ‘Dreamboats and Petticoats 3’ or to give it its full title ‘Dreamboats and Petticoats – Bringing On Back the Good Times’ which was what the majority of the septuagenarians and beyond audience at Malvern were there to do. The band were well drilled, tight and exciting and I was particularly impressed with the lady backing singers wielding the saxes, which made me realise every band should have them. This edition features an expanded booklet and photography, including liner notes on the era from the author of the 'Dreamboats' book, Brian Southall.
