Editorial Reviews

Direct from a record-setting nineteen-month run in Los Angeles, THE MARVELOUS WONDERETTES – a cotton-candy colored, non-stop pop musical blast from the past – landed off-Broadway in August of 2008.  THE MARVELOUS WONDERETTES, written and directed by Roger Bean, takes you to the 1958 Springfield High School prom, where we meet the Wonderettes (Betty Jean, Cindy Lou, Missy and Suzy), four girls with hopes and dreams as big as their crinoline skirts, and voices to match.  As we learn about their lives and loves, the Wonderettes treat us to such classic ’50s and ’60s songs as “Lollipop,” “Dream Lover,” “It’s My Party,” “It’s in His Kiss,” and so many more.  You’ve never had this much fun at a prom, and you will never forget THE MARVELOUS WONDERETTES: a must-take musical trip down memory lane, indelibly preserved on this new original cast recording!

I saw this with a friend who actually was alive in the 1950's and 1960's and sang all the songs along with the actresses! It was in Albany, NY, in an extremely intimate little theater. If you have seen the show, you can relive it by buying this CD or these MP3's! I know that if you've seen it you will want to! If you haven't seen it and love songs from the 1950's and 1960's, this cast gives each one a cute, unique flair. The songs will be new again and your ears will be full of joy! You won't be able to wipe that smile off of your face for days, or even weeks.

Went to see the musical at Musical Theater West in Long Beach and fell in love with the girls.....nothing like prom night and then a 10 year reunion united by music of the 60s to bring back memories and entertainment. I found myself humming the tunes in the middle of the day!
Thank you very much!

5.0 out of 5 stars So Much Fun It Should Be Illegal, May 5, 2010

I don't generally gush over a play but this is an exception.Living in New Jersey I often go to NYC and catch a few Broadway musicals. This was an off-broadway show that closed in January of 2010 and I'm sorry I didn't get a second chance to see it again.I have seen "Jersey Boys", "Hair Spray" (with the legend Darlene Love) and other rock musicals that were excellent. As good as those were I think the Marvelous Wondettes was better. Your face gets tired from smiling when you see this show. I haven't heard the CD yet but I know it will be great so I ordered it.
