Save The Last Dance For Me

A Step Back In Time


Get ready to be taken back to the swinging sixties with Save The Last Dance For Me



Taking Liverpool by storm Save the Last Dance will transport you on a journey back to the summer of 63, this musical will keep you singing all night with hits from Elvis, Pomus and Shuman. Based on two sisters Jennifer and Marie who set off on their first parent free holiday to the sunny seaside of Lowestoft.
However Jennifer doesn’t seem interested in the scenery as she cant take her eyes off every male on the campsite. Whilst innocent and young Marie is quite the opposite but with a turn of events she gets swept up in a whirlwind romance causing much controversy.
Beginning in a bus shelter Jennifer can’t control herself when a handsome American soldier approaches the girls, inviting them to a dance at the U.S Air Force Base. This is when the musical really comes to life featuring songs such as Viva Las Vegas, Sweets For My Sweet and Teenager In Love instantly bringing the rock and roll era back to life. The girls soon discover a world very different to their own changing their lives forever.
Little does Marie know there she will meet the love of her life Curtis a coloured U.S Airman, through their ups and downs they find one way or another to be together as they fall deeply in love.The two characters had great chemistry on stage which only enchanced their remarkable performace. Hannah Frederick was a hit with the audience as she brought her character Jennifer to light, keeping a comical edge to the musical.
The singing in the show was outstanding accompanied by the actor musicians they will make you feel as though you really are in the magic of the 1960’s. It’s a story with a happy ending that will keep you smiling and laughing the whole way through. This is definitely one for the ladies with dashing U.S soldiers taking to the stage you will be left saying ‘save the last dance for me.’
