Geva Theatre Center Adds THE MARVELOUS WONDERETTES to 2016-17 Season

By:

Geva Theatre Center announces that it will be adding the Off-Broadway hit musical comedy, The Marvelous Wonderettes by Roger Bean, to its 2016-2017 Season line-up. Directed by Melissa Rain Anderson, The Marvelous Wonderettes will run in the Fielding Stage from December 8 to December 24.

Welcome to the 1958 Springfield High School prom! Betty Jean, Cindy Lou, Missy and Suzy are the "Springfield Songleaders" - four girls with big voices, big skirts and big dreams. Fast forward a decade and they reunite to take the stage for their 10-year reunion. With over 30 classic hits from the 50s and 60s including "I Only Want to Be With You," "Leader of the Pack," "Lollipop," and Mr. Sandman," The Marvelous Wonderettes is a musical trip down memory lane.

The Marvelous Wonderettes pays tribute to the high school songleader squads of the 50s and 60s. It has been a hit with audiences around the world, and had an extended run Off-Broadway at the Westside Theatre.

The cast and artistic team for the Geva production will be announced at a later date.

Tickets for The Marvelous Wonderettes will go on sale to the general public on Monday, September 19, which is the date of Geva's annual One-Day Sale for A Christmas Carol. Subscribers to Geva's 2016-2017 Season will be able to purchase tickets for this show prior to September 19.

The Marvelous Wonderettes is supported in part by the Gouvernet Arts Fund at The Community Foundation.
