The Marvelous Wonderettes Plays The Ivoryton Playhouse, Opens 9/28

The Ivoryton Playhouse is heading back to the 50's with THE MARVELOUS WONDERETTES featuring all your favorite hits from the 50's and 60's!

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
classic 50's and 60's songs as "Lollipop," "Dream Lover," "Stupid Cupid," "Lipstick on Your Collar," "Rescue Me!," "Son of a preacher Man", "It's My Party," "It's In His Kiss (The Shoop Shoop Song)" and so many more! You've never had this much fun at a prom and you will never forget THE MARVELOUS WONDERETTES.

John DeNicola, Ivoryton's resident Musical Director, puts on his Director's hat for this production. "We have had far too much fun with this show" says DeNicola "The music is infectious and the cast is amazing." Cast includes Danielle Rhodes* who was here last summer in The Buddy Holly Story; the just-married AlAnna Wilson* who performed here in April in How The Other Half Loves; Paige Neal* who was just here in The Producers and Melissa Robinette* who will be making her Ivoryton debut. Melissa was the understudy for the original off Broadway production and performed the role of Betty Jean in the Mason Street Warehouse production. The set for this production is designed by Cully Long, costumes by Julia Bowers and lights by Tate R. Burmeister.
