If you like 50's and 60's music, there's a really good time to be had at The Marvelous Wonderettes, an infectiously charming homage to the music of that era, now making its New York debut at the Westside Theatre, buoyed by the talents of four marvelous women under the savvy direction of Roger Bean.

At the 1958 senior prom at Springfield High School (“Go, Chipmunks!”), the entertainment is supposed to be the Crooning Crab Cakes, from the glee club, but that group can’t make it because its leader has been suspended for smoking near the girls’ locker room.
 
The boys are replaced by four singers in crinolines, the Marvelous Wonderettes: the earnest, bespectacled Missy (Farah Alvin); the spry, tomboyish Betty Jean (Beth Malone); the radiant, vain Cindy Lou (Victoria Matlock); and the slightly ditsy Suzy (Bets Malone, not related to Beth).

It’s just our luck that they step in, because their show is one irresistible jukebox musical.


Boys Night at The Marvelous Wonderettes is set for Wednesday, November 19 at 8 PM --  there's a $45 ticket offer (reg price $75).


And a 90-minute open bar at Vlada (Voted BEST NEW GAY BAR)  after the show for those who purchased tickets from this offer! How can you beat that? A night at the theatre and cocktails for under $50!
