Picture a 1960's beach and bikini movie starring Frankie Avalon and Annette Funicello. Now combine it loosely with the storyline of Shakespeare's "The Tempest" and you have BBT! The central character is Vince Prospero... he is the Duke of rock 'n 'roll... a superstar of Elvis proportions. He is marooned on an island with his gorgeous daughter Annette. The genie Gidget wants to be free and ride the wild surf of the world. The other resident is Moondoggie, a delinquent teenage punk bikie. Just as in Shakespeare’s Tempest, a wild storm is whipped up to bring the evil brother and his cohorts to the island. Vince Prospero sets up a series of tests designed to reveal Tony Prospero’s true evil character. In the 20th century the most entertaining ‘tests’ or quizzes are of course on television. So true to form the last part of the show is a giant quiz show... Tony Prospero come on down!!! It is spectacular end to a show that is jam packed with thumpingly catchy ballads and tunes, beautiful love duets, thrashing sixties rock and even a visit from The Supremes.
