This smash Off-Broadway musical hit, written & created by Roger Bean, takes you to the 1958 Springfield High School prom where we meet Betty Jean, Cindy Lou, Missy, and Suzy - four girls with hopes and dreams as big as their crinoline skirts! Featuring over 30 iconic '50s and '60s tunes, including "Lollipop," "Dream Lover," "Mister Sandman, and "Lipstick on Your Collar," THE MARVELOUS WONDERETTES will keep you smiling in this must-take musical trip down memory lane!
