ABOUT THE MARVELOUS WONDERETTES
The musical takes you to the 1958 Springfield High School prom, where we meet Betty Jean, the “class clown”; Cindy Lou, the “Prom Queen”; Missy, the “over-achiever”; and Suzy, the “gum-chewing, happy-go-lucky, go-along girl”. We learn about their lives and loves while they serenade us with classic hits including “Lollipop”, “Dream Lover”, “Heatwave”, “Stupid Cupid”, “Lipstick on Your Collar”, “It’s My Party” and “It’s in His Kiss”. When called upon to perform at their senior prom as a last-minute replacement, the group rallies together to entertain their classmates in four-part harmony. In Act II, the Wonderettes reunite to take the stage and sing 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. Director/Choreographer Kathy Connolly and Musical Director Nicholas Jupinka lead the cast of Mary Klein (Missy), Jillian Lee (Cindy Lou), Rach Phelan (Betty Jean) and Madison Steinert-Santangelo (Suzy).With musical arrangements by Brian William Baker, orchestrations by Michael Borth and vocal arrangements by Roger Bean and Brian William Baker.
