The Marvelous Wonderettes brings four powerhouse voices, nonstop nostalgia, and prom night fun to Totem Pole Playhouse as it kicks off the theatre’s 75th Anniversary Season. Opening this week and running for just 12 performances, May 30–June 8, this jukebox musical is packed with 1950s and ’60s hits like “Lollipop,” “Stupid Cupid,” “It’s My Party,” and “Son of a Preacher Man.”
Set at a 1958 high school prom and a 10-year reunion, the show follows best friends Suzy, Missy, Betty Jean, and Cindy Lou as they face love, friendship, and big hair—all backed by over 30 retro classics.
The all-star cast includes Katie Sexton (The Play That Goes Wrong), Jessica Wagner (Phantom of the Opera tour), Carolyn Anne Miller (Frozen, Disney Cruise Lines, and Beth DeMichele (Pete the Cat). and Carly Paige Lafferty as the “Wonderstudy.” Directed by Producing Artistic Director Ryan B. Gibbs (Wicked, Rent, Disney Theatricals), the production features Choreography by Jenn Reed, Music Direction by Jane Best, Costumes by Lisa Liebetrau, and Scenic Design by James Fouchard.
“Four girls. One stage. A whole lot of heart—Wonderettes is everything we love about live theatre,” said Gibbs. “It’s a joyful celebration of music, friendship, and memory.”
Created by Roger Bean, The Marvelous Wonderettes became an Off-Broadway favorite thanks to its retro flair and heartfelt charm. Perfect for date nights, girls’ nights, and group outings, this feel-good hit will leave you smiling.
