It’s a story that goes far beyond the song and it’s opening in December at Arts Centre Melbourne, State Theatre.
DREAM LOVER reveals the extraordinary story of legendary singer, songwriter and actor Bobby Darin.
Starring David Campbell and Hannah Fredericksen as Sandra Dee, plus Marina Prior, Martin Crewes, Marney McQueen and Rodney Dobson
Directed by Simon Phillips, the show presents great hits from the 50s and 60s including Mack The Knife, Beyond the Sea and the multi-million-seller Dream Lover.
This musical captures the glamour and passion of the big band era, the Rat Pack in Vegas and the Golden Age of Hollywood - a time of trail-blazing stars, knock-out fashions and life-changing events.
Featuring a sensational cast with over 40 on stage including an 18-piece big band, DREAM LOVER - THE BOBBY DARIN MUSICAL is a big show with a big score and a big heart.
Mrs H 🇬🇧 ...I loved them both but I have no doubt that they had there good & bad times and they trauma's ...If Bobby had lived we see what he might have looked like in his later year's..❤
So Dodd, when are you going to start an American version of a Dream Lover show in Las Vegas??? Please go to Las Vegas and start casting and choosing the actors, please?!
I so loved all Bobby Darin’s songs so much & “DREAM LOVER” is my favorite song that he sung so magnificently, then “comes his BEYOND THE SEA”, “SPLISH SPLASH”.... let’s face it, “I LOVE ALL HIS SONGS!” 😂I would love to see this spectacular play in person but will have to look for the movie instead! Wish I could see the play but it is to far away from where I live, especially w/ CORONAVIRUS NOW, everything being sadly closed.What a extraordinary talented man ,Bobby Darin was. He sadly died much to young, just like the beautiful, actress Sandra Dee! My mom listened to Bobby Darin’s music all the time, so I too heard them as a little girl, developing a lifelong appreciation for his amazing music! This play looks so phenomenal! What a handsome son they have & just know that they are looking down from heaven, in awe of the wonderful son they left here on earth, to carry on their legacy, w/ both their son & their beautiful grandchildren!❤️
I remember seeing Bobby Darins real mother on "This is your life" who was introduced as Bobbys sister at the time, Dodd certainly resembles his grandmother like his father Bobby did.
Loved every minute of this show ..so professional.i saw it twice and could see it again .David Campbell can be extremely proud of himself and hopefully doing the show helped him in his own situation ..so parallel
Wow the family resemblance. Amazing. We get a peek into what Bobby may have looked like had he been around longer. Thanks Dodd for sharing him with all of us!!
Will the musical be filmed? I can't get to the musical but it's definitely a thing I want to see. Even experiencing it through a video would be a dream come true.
