27 Oct 2009
Off-Broadway's The Marvelous Wonderettes will play their 500th performance at New York's Westside Theatre, Nov. 25.
The 8 PM show will put the musical beyond the likes of Off-Broadway shows like Sideman, Jacques Brel is Alive and Well and Living in Paris and Bat Boy.
Written and directed by Roger Bean, The Marvelous Wonderettes currently features Courtney Balan ([title of show]), Christina DeCicco (Wicked tour), Lindsay Mendez (Everyday Rapture) and Lowe Taylor (The Marvelous Wonderettes - Laguna).
Wonderettes, according to press notes, "features the iconic sounds of the '50s and '60s 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." Songs included in the new show are "Lollipop," "Dream Lover," "Stupid Cupid," "Lipstick on Your Collar," "Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me," "It's My Party" and "It's in His Kiss."
The design team includes Mike Carnahan (set), Bobby Pearce (costume and wig), Jeremy Pivnick (lighting) and Cricket S. Myers (sound). Michael Borth is musical director and Janet Miller provides choreography.
David Elzer, Peter Schneider and Marvelous NYC, LLC are presenting the Off-Broadway run.
