The Marvelous Wonderettes

by Roger Bean

You’ll love this jukebox musical comedy. The show uses popular girl group songs from the 50s and 60s to tell its story, paying homage to the high school Songleader squads of the day. When called upon to perform at their senior prom as a last minute replacement, Springfield High Songleaders Betty Jean, Cindy Lou, Missy and Suzy, rally together to entertain their classmates in four-part harmony. The second act catches up with the girls ten years later at their high school reunion. The musical includes the songs “Lollipop”, “Dream Lover”, Stupid Cupid”, “Lipstick on Your Collar”, “It’s My Party”, “It’s in His Kiss” and many more.
