THE MARVELOUS WONDERETTES is a cotton-candy colored, non-stop pop musical blast from the past. Featuring one of the most popular songs from the '50s and '60s, the story 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 such classic 50’s and 60’s songs as “Lollipop,” “Dream Lover,” “Stupid Cupid,” “Lipstick on Your Collar,” “Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me,” “It’s My Party,” “It’s In His Kiss (The Shoop Shoop Song)” and so many more.
The four main actresses are Beth Malone (Betty Jean), Victoria Matlock (Cindy Lou), Farah Alvin (Missy), Bets Malone (Suzy). |
