Churchill Theatre, Bromley. Friday, January 13 to Saturday, 21 January. Tickets: 08448 717620

Save the Last Dance for Me is a much talked about new show which opens at The Churchill before embarking on a UK tour.

From the writers, producers, creators and director of the huge success that is Dreamboats and Petticoats, it is written by Laurence Marks and Maurice Gran.

It also features the unmistakable music of Doc Pomus and Mort Shuman, and with authentic recreation of the sound of Rock 'n' Roll, this nostalgic, feel-good journey will transport you back to music's golden era as we follow two teenage sisters through the summer of '63.

For the first time without their parents, the siblings embark on a holiday to the seaside.

Full of freedom and high spirits, they meet a handsome young American who invites them to a dance at the local US Air force base.

But young love and holiday romance is never as simple as it sounds, 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.

The show features the Pomus and Shuman classic hits: 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; Save the Last Dance For Me and many more.
