As the sequel to the Off-Broadway hit The Marvelous Wonderettes, this reunion version, The Marvelous Wonderettes: Dream On is the much anticipated next story in the Wonderettes collection. First set in 1969, Dream On has the Fab Four Friends singing all the greatest girl group hits of the 60's, as they say goodbye to school and head out to follow their dreams. Act 2 finds the girls reunited again for their 20th High School celebration where classic pop and rock hits of the 1970's provide the perfect soundtrack for these old friends to catch up on the places life has led them!

The nostalgic score includes favorites like "I Will Survive,""Band of Gold,""You're No Good,""I Can See Clearly Now,""Love Will Keep Us Together" and many more. These popular hits feature the most popular artists of the era - Spencer Davis Group, Petula Clark, Melissa Manchester, The Supremes, Linda Ronstadt, Frieda Payne, The Doobie Brothers, Gloria Gaynor, Bread, and Chicago!
