He had "the basic idea of youth clubs and nostalgia and a songwriting competition" as the basis of the show because he was a teenager in the sixties who attended a local youth club in Finsbury Park, north London. He added, "As kids growing up in the Sixties we all played in bands, I was a drummer in The Sound Barrier, the greatest unsigned band of the Sixties. Once Upon a Dream’ is the magical song - and film - that inspired this year’s album, as all the songs have been selected to bring back golden memories from a simpler time.

It then jumps to the final National performance, where Bobby and Laura win with the results of the joint efforts, the pop song "Dreamboats and Petticoats". Bobby is confused and upset when he hears about this from Ray, who also tells Bobby that Laura has had feelings for him for a long time.It's 1961, where Bobby, an awkward but talented teenager, is auditioning for a band at the local Youth Club. As well as celebrating the 60th anniversary of Cliff Richard and The Shadow’s classic song Summer Holiday, ‘Once Upon a Dream’ also features the biggest US stars: Elvis Presley ‘All Shook Up’, The Everly Brothers ‘Cathy’s Clown’, Bobby Vee ‘The Night Has a Thousand Eyes’, and the silky voices of Andy Williams ‘Can't Get Used to Losing You’ and Roy Orbison ‘Cryin’.

Productions [ edit ] London (2009–2013) [ edit ] The Savoy Theatre where the musical was first performed in London. This edition features an expanded booklet and photography, including liner notes on the era from the author of the 'Dreamboats' book, Brian Southall.

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. The album features a brilliant exclusive new track ‘Eddie’, a stunning tribute to Marty’s friend and fellow icon, Eddie Cochran. My only minor niggle is that a cd that is in a cardboard sleeve maybe could do with being sent out in sturdier packaging.

Dreamboats and Petticoats, the beloved album series, brings you a special new album: the very best hits of the rock’n’roll icon, Marty Wilde. At first they make some progress, with Bobby coming up with an idea and basic tune, which Laura takes on to expand into a full song.
