TexARTS Will Present THE MARVELOUS WONDERETTES: DREAM ON

The TexARTS Professional Series presents The Marvelous Wonderettes: Dream On written and created by Roger Bean and vocal and musical arrangements by Michael Borth. Performances will take place February 14 - March 1, 2020 at the Kam & James Morris Theatre in Lakeway.

The groovy music of the '60s and '70s are the heart of a show the Houston Chronicle describes as "A fun jukebox musical..." This all new show is the sequel to TexARTS 2017 smash hit The Marvelous Wonderettes. The original creative team and a fantastic cast bring the girl group hits to life, singing hit songs made famous by Aretha Franklin, Nat King Cole, Carole King, Captain & Tennille, Linda Ronstadt and more!

The cast features Paige Harvey (Little Shop of Horrors), Megan Richards (Xanadu), Lilly Lane Stafford (Wonderettes and Patsy Cline), and Leigh Sauvageau (Little Shop of Horrors).

Kimberly Schafer returns to TexARTS as director and choreographer of The Marvelous Wonderettes: Dream On. Ms. Schafer's TexARTS credits include Smokey Joe's Café, Xanadu, and The Marvelous Wonderettes. She recently choreographed Sophisticated Ladies for the Crossroads Theatre Company at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center with Tony Award Winner, André De Shields as director.

The creative team includes Donna Coughlin (Scenic Designer), Christopher Arthur (Costume Designer), Stephen Pruitt (Light Designer), EJ Holly (Sound Designer), and Reilly J. Ryan (Properties Designer).
