The Wonderettes return to Laguna Playhouse with Holiday Show 11/24 - 12/30

Press release:

LAGUNA BEACH, CA-The weather outside isn't too frightful, but the four lovely ladies known as The Wonderettes are anticipating cooler coastal temperatures when they return to The Laguna Playhouse in the Orange County Premiere of the joyful holiday show, Winter Wonderettes (created and directed by Roger Bean), that runs November 24 – December 30, 2009.  

Winter Wonderettes is set six months after the end of The Marvelous Wonderettes, which The Laguna Playhouse presented in the summer of 2008 before the show moved off-Broadway. This seasonal sequel finds the girls returning to their hometown for a holiday celebration with their family and friends, complete with great Wonderette renditions of classic holiday tunes from the '50s and '60s.

In Winter Wonderettes, Wonderette member Betty Jean is in charge of her company's Christmas party, so naturally the Wonderettes are the logical choice for the entertainment. But when Santa turns up missing, the girls must use their talent and creative ingenuity, plus some great holiday tunes such as "Santa Baby," "Jingle Bell Rock" and "It's a Marshmallow World," to rectify their holiday party without the jolly big guy in red. The result is, of course, marvelous!

This energetic and entertaining show is guaranteed to delight audiences of all ages. The LA Weekly calls The Winter Wonderettes "the perfect Christmas revue…the musical numbers crackle with energy and joy," while the LA Times raves "everything about this production is first-rate...if you're looking for festive entertainment this holiday season, turn yourself over to the wonderful Wonderettes."
