Tony Christie to make West End debut
By CMU Editorial | Published on Tuesday 29 June 2010
Tony Christie is to make his West End debut when he joins the cast of jukebox musical ‘Dreamboats And Petticoats’ on 5 Jul. The crooner will play the role of Older Bobby and Phil, Bobby’s father. Christie says: “I saw the show’s original opening night in London almost a year ago and just loved the story. And of course the music is incredible – The Platters, Phil Spector, Roy Orbison, Marty Wilde – all artists I grew up listening to. As soon as I saw it I’ve been searching for a gap in my diary to join the show”. The show was first staged in London at the Savoy Theatre following a UK tour, but has been playing at the Playhouse Theatre since January.
