The Marvelous Wonderettes

Campy, Fun, Endearing, Cliched, Entertaining

​See it if You love Doo Wop & 50's music. A fun, campy evening of 50's song & dance well performed by four disparate, energetic & very talented women.

Don't see it if You hate camp, 50's music, Girl Groups or tight, stop on a dime harmonies and predictable if entertaining plots in this well-directed romp.

​While the vocal arrangements were fine, the sound could have been better engineered and much cleaner. Clever choreography moved the action along well, and the costumes and wigs in the first act fully realized the era, as did the evening's strongest number, Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, which closed Act I.

Act II, the 10 year reunion, seemed less well thought out and could have been assembled by a different team; not nearly as tight, sloppier costumes, fewer harmonies and more an individual showcases for each performer. Still, a fun and entertaining if predictable evening well presented and performed.
