This smash off-Broadway hit is a cotton-candy colored, non-stop pop musical blast from the past!! Featuring your favorite songs from the ’50s and ’60s, The Marvelous Wonderettes takes you to the 1958 Springfield High School prom who has unexpectedly lost its musical act. There we meet we meet The Marvelettes; Betty Jean, Cindy Lou, Missy, and Suzy, four girls with hopes and dreams as big as their crinoline skirts and voices to match! As we learn about their lives and loves in Act 1, we are treated to the girls performing such classic 50’s hits including “Lollipop”, “Dream Lover”, “Stupid Cupid”, and “Lipstick on Your Collar”.
In act two, the Wonderettes reunite to take the stage and perform at their ten-year reunion. Through such classic 60s songs as “Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me”, “It’s My Party”, “It’s In His Kiss (The Shoop Shoop Song)” and so many more we learn about the highs and lows the girls have experienced in the past decade and are charmed to find that no matter what life throws their way, they will conquer it together!
You’ve never had this much fun at a prom and you will never forget The Marvelous Wonderettes – a must-take musical trip down memory lane! So bring your sweetie, young and old a like will have a marvelous time. Appropriate for all ages!
