A musical set to the songs of '50s legends including Roy Orbison, The Shadows, Eddie Cochran and Billy Fury. The premise is one of musical rivalry between two young guys trying to impress girls and break into the music business by writing a great song... but then they discover the girl they fancy is no slouch herself.
A pretty silly affair by all accounts but with good jokes from Birds Of A Feather writers Laurence Marks and Maurice Gran. Oh, and a number of unforgettable tunes such as 'Let's Dance', 'Bobby's Girl', 'Runaround Sue','Great Pretender', 'C'mon Everybody' and 'Let's Twist Again'.
A romantic, retro treat for fans of the wonderful 1950s.
