The Story
The Marvelous Wonderettes
Travel to the 1958 Springfield High School prom where you'll 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. Follow their wise-cracking antics from prom through to their ten-year reunion, enjoying soulful renditions of your favorite songs from the '50s and '60s along the way. Featuring such classics as "Lollipop," "It's My Party," "It's In His Kiss" and more, The Marvelous Wonderettes is an unforgettable musical trip down memory lane!
