This
Off-Broadway hit takes you to the 1958 Springfield High School prom, where we
meet Betty Jean, Cindy Lou, Missy, and Suzy: four girls with hopes and dreams
as big as their crinoline skirts! As we learn about their lives and loves, the
girls serenade us with classic ‘50s hits including “Lollipop,” “Dream Lover,”
“Stupid Cupid,” and “Lipstick on Your Collar.” In Act II, the Wonderettes
reunite to take the stage and perform at their ten-year reunion. 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. Featuring over 30 classic ’50s and ’60s hits, The Marvelous
Wonderettes will keep you smiling in this must-take musical trip down
memory lane!
