Blonde Bombshells of 1943

You’re going to go wild for the Blonde Bombshells of 1943! This musical comedy with a UK cast is based on Alan Plater’s BAFTA award-winning BBC TV drama Last of the Blonde Bombshells starring Judi Dench. The show will run for three nights from 5 November to 7 November at the Grand Ballroom of Hilton Kuala Lumpur. Direct from a sell-out success in London and the UK, this laugh-out loud musical comedy is packed with 1930’s/’40s classics by Fats Waller, the Andrews Sisters and Glenn Miller and will be performed live by a sensational eight-piece jazz band.

Blonde Bombshells of 1943 tells the story of wartime bandleader Betty in a predicament. Every time the Blonde Bombshells, the most glamorous swing band in the North of England, play an American G.I. camp they lose members! Four of her girls have gone AWOL, and with an important BBC radio engagement coming up, Betty needs to find new musicians – and fast! Among those who turn up to the hastily organized auditions are naïve schoolgirl Liz who plays a mean clarinet; Miranda, an upper-crust trumpet player; singing nun Lily, and Patrick, a male drummer prepared to don a dress in order to avoid being called-up for the army! With her motley line-up complete, Betty and the band prepare to dodge Hitler’s bombs and make the dangerous journey to potential fame and fortune. So, join these bombshells for a blast of an evening! Ticket information and reservations for the show are available from the Hilton Kuala Lumpur’s Ticket Hotline.
