The Marvelous Wonderettes 2008


About the Album: Direct from a record-setting nineteen-month run in Los Angeles, THE MARVELOUS WONDERETTES Ð a cotton-candy colored, non-stop pop musical blast from the past Ð landed off-Broadway in August of 2008. THE MARVELOUS WONDERETTES, written and directed by Roger Bean, takes you to the 1958 Springfield High School prom, where we 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. As we learn about their lives and loves, the Wonderettes treat us to such classic Õ50s and Õ60s songs as ÒLollipop,Ó ÒDream Lover,Ó ÒItÕs My Party,Ó ÒItÕs in His Kiss,Ó and so many more. YouÕve never had this much fun at a prom, and you will never forget THE MARVELOUS WONDERETTES: a must-take musical trip down memory lane, indelibly preserved on this new original cast recording!

Label: P.S. Classics
