The Marvelous Wonderettes - 2008 Off-Broadway History , Info & More

Westside Theatre (Upstairs)
407 West 43rd St. New York, NY 10036

A cotton-candy colored non-stop pop musical comedy, The Marvelous Wonderettes features the iconic sounds of the fifties and beyond in a journey back to the 1958 Springfield High School prom where the Wonderettes - Betty Jean, Cindy Lou, Missy and Suzy - are four young girls with hopes and dreams as big as their crinoline skirts. Brimming with such classic hits as “Lollipop,” “Dream Lover," “Stupid Cupid,” “Lipstick on Your Collar,” “Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me,” “It’s My Party” and “It’s In His Kiss (The Shoop Shoop Song),” The Marvelous Wonderettes is an effervescent musical blast from the past.
