ORANGE COUNTY PREMIERE OF WINTER WONDERETTES FEATURES FESTIVE AND FUN RENDITIONS OF POPULAR HOLIDAY SONGS FROM THE '50s AND '60s: 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.
There's an interesting point buried beneath the innocuous entertainment of writer/director Roger Bean's The Marvelous Wonderettes, a somewhat cute little show utilizing girl group and female soloist pop hits from the 1950s and 60s. Unfortunately, that interesting point could have easily been made with out the tedium of his vapid, unfunny book and standard story. But if you can disregard everything that happens between the songs and just enjoy the singing talents of Farah Alvin (the shy, geeky one), Beth Malone (the trouble-maker), Bets Malone (the air-headed, helium voiced blonde) and Victoria Matlock (Most Likely To Become Ann-Margret) you're apt to have an enjoyable time.
