Who Put the Bomp?

The Tabard Theatre presents Who Put The Bomp?, a brand-new in-house musical from Keith Strachan, director of the West End hits Dreamboats and Petticoats and Dancing in the Streets.

When shy, music-obsessed Billy Johnson starts singing the records his grandfather loved, he never expects it to change his life. But with the help of his friends and no-nonsense music teacher Miss McTavish, a group of London teenagers form The Doo Woppers — an unlikely vocal group with an even more unlikely chance of success.

As their popularity grows, friendships are tested, secrets emerge and each of them must discover what it means to stand together when the spotlight gets brighter.

Packed with classic hits from the golden age of Doo Wop such as:

• Why Do Fools Fall In Love - Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers
• The Great Pretender - The Platters
• Be My Baby - The Ronettes
• Mr Bassman - Johnny Cymbal
• Blue Moon - The Marcels
• Who Put the Bomp - The Viscounts
• Love Potion No.9 - The Clovers
• Only You - The Platters
• Who Wrote the Book of Love - The Monotones
• Shout - Lulu
• At The Hop - Danny and the Juniors

Following Keith Strachan's recent Tabard successes The Mikado and HMS Pinafore, Who Put The Bomp? is a warm-hearted celebration of friendship, first love, community and the music that never grows old.

Join us for an evening of heavenly harmonies, laughter and toe-tapping hits.
