Record-setting The Marvelous Wonderettes Opens Thursday At Chenango River Theatre
Published: August 17th, 2010

GREENE – After a record setting 19 month award-winning run in Los Angeles, The Marvelous Wonderettes opened to rave reviews from the New York critics, running off Broadway another 15 months there (one of the longest off Broadway runs in history). Now our area is one of the first in the country to get a chance to see the hottest new musical in the land.  

A cotton candy-colored non-stop pop musical, The Marvelous Wonderettes features the iconic sounds of the 50’s and 60’s in a journey back to the 1958 Springfield High School prom where the Wonderettes - Betty Jean, Cindy Lou, Missy and Suzy - are four young girls with hopes and dreams as big as their crinoline skirts. Brimming with such classic hits as “Lollipop,” “Dream Lover,” “Stupid Cupid,” “Lipstick on Your Collar,” “Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me,” “It’s My Party,” ”Leader of the Pack” and “It’s In His Kiss (The Shoop Shoop Song),” The Marvelous Wonderettes is a high-octane musical blast from the past as we learn about the Wonderettes lives and loves.
