The Marvelous Wonderettes: About The Show
The Marvelous Wonderettes is a musical based on the book written by Roger Bean, who is known for his jukebox musicals including ‘Life Could be a Dream’ and ‘Why Do Fools Fall in Love.’ The musical comedy pays homage to the pop song culture of the 1950s and 1960s. This revival is directed by Tom and Michael D’Angora and a talented cast of Kristen Alderson, Amy Hillner Larsen, Carly Sokolove, and Laura Woyasz. The small theatre experience allows for a cozy setting and transports you to Springfield High School as if you were right there, singing and dancing with the Marvelous Wonderettes!
The Marvelous Wonderettes: Broadway Story
The handmade banners welcome the audience to the Super Senior Prom of 1958 of Springfield High School, where the Principal invites the ‘Marvelous Wonderettes’ to perform. It turns out that the girls weren’t the first choice and were only brought in because the boy band got into big trouble the previous night! The fabulous four girls – Missy, Suzy, Betty Jean, and Cindy Lou – rise to the occasion and sing favorite pop songs from the 1950’s.
The songs draw a parallel to the intertwined lives of the teenage girls who are falling in love, getting cheated, having crushes and living their lives as high school students. The Act II is all about the reunion in 1968 when the class is back together for a 10-year reunion. The girls are back and sing about their struggles over the past decade. Watch the musical to find out how the girls have fared in their life - one of them is pregnant, and another gets proposed to at the reunion!
