Currently knocking 'em dead singing 1950s and 60s classics in the Off-Broadway revival of The Marvelous Wonderettes, the crazily talented Christina Bianco was first noticed by New York theatregoers for impersonations of great theatre divas like Kristin Chenoweth and Julie Andrews in Forbidden Broadway.

She earned a 2015 Drama Desk nomination for playing dozens of characters in the one-woman comedy APPLICATION PENDING, and regularly busts the Internet with videos where she quickly bounces between Broadway and pop superstar impersonations.

Her newest social media project involves famous movies quotes as interpreted by somewhat miscast performers. Below is her first installment of Unlikely Interpretations, promising 25 impressions in 25 days. Visit her website, christinabianco.com, for updates.

The Marvelous Wonderettes are back! The long-running Off-Broadway hit musical celebrated its opening night at New York's Theatre Row on April 28th. The show, featuring such classic fifties and sixties hits as "Lollipop," "Dream Lover," "Stupid Cupid," "Son of a Preacher Man," "Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me," and "It's My Party," stars Christina Bianco as Missy, Diana DeGarmo as Suzy, Jenna Leigh Green as Cindy Lou, and Sally Schwab as Betty Jean.

The Marvelous Wonderettes takes a cotton-candied colored musical trip down memory lane to the 1958 Springfield High School prom where we meet "The Wonderettes," four girls with hopes and dreams as big as their crinoline skirts. Audiences experience their lives and loves from prom night to their ten-year reunion as told through more than 20 chart-topping hits of the era!

Created, written, and originally directed by Roger Bean, the previous New York production played at the West Side Theatre from September 2008 to January 2010. Since then, there have been countless productions all over the world and two sequels, The Marvelous Wonderettes: Caps & Gowns and Winter Wonderettes.
