The Marvelous Wonderettes Four young (Late Teen's-30's) female singers and dancers to play The MarvelousWonderettes. 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. Features popular songs of the 1950's and 60's.

Cindy Lou:She knows she is the prettiest girl at Springfield High. She knows she will be named Prom Queen and acts out against her best friend Betty Jean when things don't go her way. She makes the biggest change between Act 1 & 2, having learned the lessons of true love and loss.

MEZZO SOPRANO BELT- sings lead line on most songs. Among the songs she sings are: ‘Allegheny Moon', ‘Son of a Preacher Man', ‘Maybe'. MISSY: She is the over-achiever of the group. Very controlled. Officer in most of the school's clubs, in charge of the prom decorations and the organizer of the reunion. Her best friend is Suzy.

SOPRANO - wide range, floats very high vocals and belts throughout the show. Among the songs she sings are: ‘Secret Love', ‘You Don't Own Me', ‘Wedding Bell Blues'.

BETTY JEAN: The slightly put-upon class clown, always vying for attention with Cindy Lou, her best friend. A tomboy, she loves Johnny, her high school crush with all her soul, but Cindy Lou steals him away. She holds this grudge against Cindy Lou until they make up at the 10 year reunion.

ALTO with a strong low range. Among the songs she sings are: ‘Lip-stick on Your Collar', ‘I Only Want To Be With You', ‘It's My Party'.

SUZY: Best friends with Missy, she is the happy-go-lucky one of the group. Always smiling and giggling, nothing ever seems to bother her. Completely surprised when named prom queen. Angry, crying, and confused in Act 2.

MEZZO ALTO, both simple and soul voice. Among the songs she sings are: ‘Stupid Cupid', 'Gold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me', 'It's In His Kiss', 'Maybe I Know', 'Respect Me', 'Rescue Me'.
