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.
