Save the Last Dance for Me will be in Truro from Tuesday, August 30 to Saturday, September 3, bringing X Factor finalist Lola Saunders to the Cornish stage.

Lola is making her theatrical debut in the role of ‘Jennifer’, starring alongside Blue's Antony Costa as ‘Milton’, with Wayne Robinson as ‘Curtis’ and Elizabeth Carter as ‘Marie’.

From the writers, producers, creators and director of the huge success Dreamboats and Petticoats, Save the Last Dance for Me will take you back through the music and magic of the early 60's, a time when each passing week brought another rock'n'roll classic.

Written by Laurence Marks and Maurice Gran (of Goodnight Sweetheart, Birds of a Feather and The New Statesman) the show features the unmistakable music of Doc Pomus and Mort Shuman, authentically recreating the rock'n'roll sound live on stage with hits including Sweets for my Sweet, Please Mr Postman, Viva Las Vegas, Can’t Get Used to Losing You, the title track Save the Last Dance For Me and more. This nostalgic, feel-good journey will transport you back to music's golden era.

Save the Last Dance for Me follows two teenage sisters through the summer of 1963 as they embark, for the first time without their parents, on a holiday to the seaside. Full of freedom and high spirits they meet a handsome young American who invites them to a dance at the local US Air Force base. But young love and holiday romance is never as simple as it sounds, and the sisters soon realise that while the world around them is still watching itself in black and white, life and love can be much more colourful.
