Cast Set for Music Theatre West's Marvelous Wonderettes
After a triumphant run Off-Broadway, and sold out runs at the El Portal Theatre in Los Angeles and the Laguna Playhouse, The Marvelous Wonderettes returns to Southern California in its Musical Theatre West premiere.
Joining creator Roger Bean, who will be directing the production, and musical director Michael Borth, (The Marvelous Wonderettes off-Broadway, MTW's All Shook Up) will be the creme-de-la-creme of former Wonderettes cast members, including some MTW favorites.
They are Misty Cotton as Missy Miller, Beth Malone as Betty Jean Reynolds, Bets Malone as Suzy Simpson and Darcie Roberts as Cindy Lou Huffington.
The Marvelous Wonderettes is a cotton-candy colored, non-stop pop musical blast from the past. Featuring your favorite songs from the '50s and '60s, The Marvelous Wonderettes 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!
