From the writers, producers, creators and director of the huge success Dreamboats and Petticoats, Save the Last Dance for Me heads to Leeds next week and promises to take audiences back through the ‘music and magic’ of the early 60s; a time when each passing week brought another Rock’n’Roll classic.
The production is at Leeds Grand Theatre from Monday 13th to Saturday 18th June.
Lola Saunders, a finalist on The X Factor 2014, will make her theatrical debut in the role of Jennifer starring alongside former Blue member Antony Costa as Milton, with Wayne Robinson as Curtis and Elizabeth Carter returning to the role of Marie.
Written by Laurence Marks and Maurice Gran (of ‘Goodnight Sweetheart’, ‘Birds of a Feather’ and ‘The New Statesman’) the show features the unmistakable music of Doc Pomus & Mort Shuman, authentically recreating the Rock ‘n’ Roll sound live on stage with hits including Sweets for my Sweet, Please Mr. Postman, Viva Las Vegas, Can’t Get Used to Losing You, the title track Save the Last Dance For Me and more that will transport audiences back to music’s golden era.
Save the Last Dance for Me follows two teenage sisters through the summer of ’63 as they embark, for the first time without their parents, 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 U.S. 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.
Save the Last Dance for Me is at Leeds Grand Theatre from Monday 13th to Saturday 18th June
