The Marvelous Wonderettes
May 29, 2019 - June 22, 2019 | Gompertz Theatre
It’s 1958, and the Springfield High prom has unexpectedly lost its musical act. When called upon to take the stage, four girls with hopes and dreams as big as their crinoline skirts rally together to entertain their classmates in four-part harmony. An Off-Broadway hit, this cotton candy-colored musical features classic hits from the ‘50s and ‘60s like “It’s My Party,” “Lollipop,” “Son of a Preacher Man,” and “Mr. Sandman.”
The Marvelous Wonderettes was written & created by Roger Bean. Musical Arrangements by Brian William Baker, Orchestrations by Michael Borth, & Vocal Arrangements by Roger Bean & Brian William Baker.
Run Time: The Marvelous Wonderettes runs 1 hour and 40 minutes with a 15 minute intermission
