A 92-year-old care home resident has had her wish granted to see the raunchy Dreamboys show.

When the team at Care UK’s Outstanding rated Sway Place in Lymington, Hampshire learned Betty Richardson had always wanted to see the Dreamboys show they were keen to make her wish come true through their home’s Wishing Tree initiative.

Jane Baxter, home manager at Sway Place, said: “Betty has proved age is just a number by living her dream of seeing the Dreamboys.

“Our Wishing Tree initiative is a great way for residents to share their goals and it’s hugely rewarding to be able to make these a reality. The visit was a complete success, and it was lovely seeing her face light up watching the performance.

“I would like to thank the team at Dreamboys for making her visit extra special and to the team at Sway Place for organising it for her – it was fantastic to see Betty still chasing her dreams!”

Betty was given the theatre’s full VIP experience, including the best seats in the house and a private meet and greet with the show’s hunky performers.

After the visit, a thrilled Betty said: “Well I’m not going to forget that in a hurry. Was that a dream or was I really there!”
