The Marvelous Wonderettes takes you to the 1958 Springfield High School prom where we meet the Wonderettes - 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, we are treated to the girls performing beautifully arranged renditions of classic 50s songs. After intermission, your audience is in for a wonderful surprise as they’re whisked away to the girls’ ten-year reunion. The Wonderettes perform again with high-octane and soulful renditions of classic ‘60s tunes, and we see how their friendships have changed and endured in this captivating new Off-Broadway hit.

After a record-setting and award-winning run in Los Angeles, The Marvelous Wonderettes opened over a year ago to rave reviews from the New York critics. The New York Times called the show “effervescent, irresistible and an utter charm,” while Variety called it “charming and funny” with “four gifted comedians.” The Associated Press raved “you won’t find a more delightful girl group. These irrepressible, bubbly Wonderettes are singing their hearts out in this charming, fast-paced musical. Beautiful singing, well-honed timing, often poignant and highly entertaining!” Backstage wrote “Don't buy a ticket - buy two! It's a show you'll want to see twice! A laugh-a-minute songfest!”
