The Marvelous Wonderettes

Shake, rattle and roll! Four fabulous girl friends take you from their Senior Prom to their Ten-year Reunion.

This evening Joan and I attended the highly entertaining oldies song-athon steeped in the days of bobby sox, bubble gum and Bobby Darin.

The four girls, Missy Miller, Cindy Lou Huffington, Suzy Simpson and Betty Jean Reynolds (gotta love the names) performed it seems every jukebox favorites from the 50s and 60s.

While the play could have gone easily over-the-top, the actresses cleverly referenced the songs and advanced the story.

The true stars of the show were the tunes that get those baby boomers in the audience clapping, singing and remembering the old days. For some reason "Mr. Lee" is still ringing in my head.
