Blonde Bombshells of 1943 *2009*
by BAFTA and Emmy Award-winning Alan Plater

Director Mark Babych | Designer Libby Watson

Direct from a sell-out London season and based on the award-winning TV film The Last of the Blonde Bombshells starring Judi Dench, this laugh-out-loud musical comedy is filled with 1940s classic hits performed live by a sensational eight piece swing band. The Blonde Bombshells guarantee to have you swinging in the aisles!
Every time they play a GI camp the most glamorous of all-girl swing bands manage to lose members! Now there's an important BBC job in the offing and Bandleader Betty needs to find new musicians - and fast!

Packed with toe-tapping live performances of hits by Fats Waller, The Andrews Sisters and Glenn Miller including Don't Sit Under the Apple Tree, T'aint What Cha Do and Goodbye plus many more! This warmhearted, sparkling musical play will have you roaring with delight and will send you home with a smile and a swing!
