Blonde Bombshells of 1943

“An absolute blast – go see and enjoy” Daily Telegraph
Following the huge sell out success touring throughout 2007, Alan Plater’s award winning show Blonde Bombshells of 1943, recommences touring the UK through 2008 and performs at Venue Cymru, Llandudno this March.

A warm, witty musical play filled with glorious, live swing band performances of 1940’s classics by Fats Waller, The Andrews Sisters and Glenn Miller.

The Blonde Bombshells, the most glamorous all-girl swing band in the North, loses members every time it plays a GI camp. Now there’s an important BBC 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 her motley line-up complete, Betty and her band prepare to dodge Hitler’s bombs and make the dangerous journey to a secret BBC recording – and potential fame and fortune.

“Delightful…the audience went wild…knock-out concert in the second half”
The Independent
