Blonde Bombshells Of 1943
By Emmy and BAFTA award-winner Alan Plater
Direct from a sell-out success in London and based on the award-winning TV film The Last of the Blonde Bombshells starring Judi Dench, this warm and witty musical play is filled with live performances of 1940s classics performed by a sensational 8 piece live swing band.
Bandleader Betty has a problem. Every time the Blonde Bombshells, the most glamorous swing band in the North, play a GI camp, their members go AWOL! Now there’s an important job in the offing and Betty needs to find new musicians - fast. Among those drafted are naïve schoolgirl Liz, who plays a mean clarinet; Miranda, an upper-crust saxophonist; singing nun Lily and Patrick, a male drummer prepared to don a frock in order to avoid a drafting. With their motley line-up complete, the band prepares to dodge Hitler’s bombs and make the dangerous journey to a secret BBC recording -and potential fame and fortune.
Packed with toe-tapping classics by Fats Waller, The Andrews Sisters, Ella Fitzgerald, Glenn Miller and many more, including Don’t Sit Under the Apple Tree, Goodbye EE ,T ’aint What You Do - drive away the blues with this hilarious musical play!
Running Time 2hrs 20mins
