Created, written, and originally directed by Roger Bean, The Marvelous Wonderettes takes a trip down memory lane to the 1958 Springfield High School prom. The show follows the lives and loves of the Wonderettes, four girls with big dreams and bigger crinoline skirts, from prom night to their 10-year reunion. The score highlights over 20 chart-topping hits of the era, including “Lollipop,” “Dream Lover,” “Stupid Cupid,” “Son of a Preacher Man,” “Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me” and “It’s My Party.”

The production also currently stars Jenna Leigh Green as Cindy Lou, Sally Schwab as Betty Jean and Mackenzie Barmen as the Wonderstudy.
