Synopsis

Album Description
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!
 

CD Reviews

Marvelous

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I just recently saw the play on Broadway with my wife, we loved it.When we go on long drives we pop the CD into the CD player and sing along with the music, we are not that old, but we enjoy the music of the 50's and 60's"
Love it!

"This show is so much fun! Saw it in NYC as well as in Laguna Beach. Amazing voices on this recording. They use the songs to tell a great little story about friends at a high school prom. The arrangements are terrific -- very much like the original recordings from the 50s and 60s, yet just different enough to add a theatrical spark. I bought this for my parents for Christmas. I can't wait to take them to see it on our next trip to New York."

"This was a marvelous, sensational and comical blast! This was a musical that I saw at the El Portal Theater in Hollywood. The songs correspond with the skits. Prior to watching the play I heard a few of the songs on their website and thought nothing of it, but after watching the play I can't get these songs out of my head. I play the cd for the students that I took to the play and they just go crazy for it. The songs bring back fond memories of when we saw the play. I saw the play four times. The kids are from East Los Angeles and really did not want to see the play. They wanted to go to an amusement park, but I wanted to introduce them to the theater. Now they beg me to take them to a play.
