The Marvelous “Wonderettes” are a polished bauble of retro fun at the 6th Street Playhouse. They’re sassy like the Spice Girls and color-coded like true retro divas of the 50's and 60's. The Marvelous Wonderettes are the most made-to-order girl group there never was, a fact that doesn’t necessarily make this prefab four any less entertaining. This Off Broadway hit which won the 2007 Los Angeles Ovation Award for Best Musical was written by Roger Bean and is directed by Craig A. Miller.

Roger Bean has crafted jukebox tunes out of WWII ditties and radio jingles, but his crowning achievement is "The Marvelous Wonderettes," a '50s-and-'60s revue that has already scored big in New York and Los Angeles. Now in Santa Rosa, this show easily repeats that success. This production practically backflips to make audience-goers smile. As we enter the theater, we see designer Michael Carnahan's high school set, bursting with decorations for Springfield High's 1958 senior prom. The audience can even join in the fun by voting for prom queen.
