The Marvelous Wonderettes is a jukebox musical comedy with book by Roger Bean. The show pays homage to high school girl groups of the 50s, using popular tunes from the 50s and 60s. When called upon to perform at their senior prom as a last-minute replacement, Springfield High Songleaders Betty Jean, Cindy Lou, Missy and Suzy put personal differences aside to bring the music. The second act takes place at their 10-year reunion when the quartet reunites to sing again bringing their new life experiences to the story. Each character will have solos as well as background harmonies.

Roles:

Cindy Lou knows she is the prettiest girl at Springfield High and assumes she will be named Prom Queen. She takes it out on her best friend, Betty Jean, when things don’t go her way. Vocal Range: E3-F5 Mezzo Soprano Belt.

Missy is the over achiever in this group. She is very controlling and concerned about all the details of the Prom decorations. She is in love with her music teacher. Vocal range: G3-A5, Soprano

Betty Jean is the class clown and will ham up at all times. She has to compete for attention with Cindy Lou. Vocal range: D3-E5 Alto with strong low range.

Suzy the gum smacking, happy go lucky member, always little giddy and silly. Vocal range: G3-E5 Mezzo with soulful voice.

Be prepared to sing about a minute of a 50s or 60s song. No accompaniment will be provided. If possible. please bring tracks for your selection.
