Alan Plater’s Blonde Bombshells of 1943 is a warm and witty musical play filled with live swing band performances of 1940s classics by Fats Waller, The Andrews Sisters and Glenn Miller. The show has been Touring since January, and enjoying sell-out performances nationwide, it has been extended right through to the Autumn.
The Blonde Bombshells, the most glamorous all-girl swing band in the North, loses members every time it plays a GI camp. Now there’s an important BBC job in the offing and Betty needs to find new musicians – fast.
Among those drafted are naïve schoolgirl Liz, who plays a mean clarinet; Miranda, an upper-crust saxophonist; singing nun Lily – and Patrick, a male drummer prepared to don a frock in order to avoid a drafting. With her motley line-up complete, Betty and her band prepare to dodge Hitler’s bombs and make the dangerous journey to a secret BBC recording – and potential fame and fortune.
