The Marvelous Wonderettes

The Marvelous Wonderettes uses a compilation of songs from the 50’s and 60’s to tell the story of four college seniors who are asked to perform at their senior prom when the headline act cancels at short notice.

Act 1 sees them at the prom where we learn about their dreams and aspirations for the lives ahead of them. Act 2 finds the same four later at their ten year reunion.

We learn about the highs and lows the girls have experienced in the decade since their prom and are charmed to find that no matter what life throws their way, they will conquer it together.

The girls are: Jade Rushwood – Cindy Lou, Helen Jarvis – Missy, Candice Baldwin – Suzy and Jo Fletcher – Betty Jean (B J) with Trevor Stone as Mr Lee, their Head Master.

Joining Paul Belsham as director and musical director is Tim Roberts as choreographer, and together they bring the lives of these four senior students to life.

On a basic set the girls guide us through the trials and tribulations of teenage love and their latest meeting ten years down the track to tunes including: ‘Lollipop’, ‘Stupid Cupid’ and ‘Lipstick on Your Collar’.

A great trip down memory lane.
