Storyline
The musical “Peggy Sue Got Married” follows the same storyline as the book and the movie. Peggy Sue is reevaluating her life at 42 years old due to an awaiting divorce with her cheating husband, who she has been with since he got her pregnant in high school. Upon going to a 25 year high school reunion, she travels back in time to when she was 17 years old again in 1960. Even though she is back in her 17 year old body, she still has her same 42 year old mind, memories, and maturity. She takes this inconvenient opportunity to relive her youth and do all the things she regrets not doing. She parties, tells her parents that she loves them, and talks to the school geek about his future success in life. In the end she is faced with life altering decisions of either going down the same path she went down as her old self, despite seeing where she ended up, or going down a new path of adventure with the high school heart throb, Michael.About the Musical
This musical has a run time of two hours and thirty minutes with one intermission. Although some say it can be compared to the musical ''Grease'', there are many musical differences in ''Peggy Sue Got Married''. Where ''Grease'' had a lot of music from the 1960s, ''Peggy Sue Got Married'' uses music from all areas like heavy metal, boy bands, The Drifters, and Celine Dion. ''Peggy Sue Got Married'' is also more of a serious musical than ''Grease'' and many other musicals. It is not as light-hearted or uncomplicated as most other musicals that might share a setting in high school.Production history
The musical opened in the West End at the Shaftesbury Theatre on August 20, 2001, but closed on October 31, 2001. The mostly positive reviews praised Henshall's performance. Its early closing has been attributed to the reduced numbers of people visitingCast and Characters
