Laguna Playhouse (Laguna Beach, CA)
Take four endearing characters, add nearly two dozen classic pop songs from the '50s and '60s, mix it with an engaging story, and you have an unforgettable evening of musical theater.

An incredibly fun, enjoyable evening, particularly for the 50+ crowd. We knew almost all of the songs, and loved the characters! A great night out!
The show itself and all 4 ladies did an amazing job!! I saw this show over 30 times when it played in North Hollywood, and this was my first time seeing it at the Laguna Playhouse, in Laguna Beach.
This show is definitely worth seeing and I recommend it to everyone who is a fan of the 50s & 60s! Hats off to all the prom girls for making this event incredibly awesome!
Really fun show - the girls all had very good voices and the songs just took us all back to that era. We all totally enjoyed it!
It was a great show.
I loved this musical. The girls were fabulous. I really enjoyed the interaction with the audience.
Getting these tixs thru Goldstar was so easy. We had excellent seats too. The show is extremely entertaining. Amazing performances by all four cast members - their vocal talent is superb, and they are great comedic actress. Choreography and musical arrangements also very well done. If you are at all nostalgic for music of the 50's & 60's and have a sense of humor, do not miss this show. It is headed for off-Broadway soon...
It was just adorable!
Funny, upbeat, touching and a whole lot of fun!
Took us back!!! Great singing and music!!
I loved the venue. There were no bad seats. The parking was not to good, but that was just because of summer.
Wonderful show - lots of laughs plus the music of the 50's & 60's.
the show was great fun! nothing heady or heavy to consider. Loved hearing the old tunes...and the vocal performances were just fantastic. So glad to have seen it here in a local venue...I am somewhat skeptical as to how this will 'play' in NYC...and I wish them all the best in this endeavor.
I thoroughly enjoyed the music and the performances of the four stars! The young ladies did a wonderful job matching the original versions of the songs which were so cleverly woven into the relevance of the story line.
The interaction of the four women was as fantastic as their singing! I laughed the entire time.
I had a perfectly fabulous time singing and swinging to all of the songs!
It was the best....and I can't wait to see it again!!!
Very fun, especially if you love the music from the 50's and 60's. A great night just to sit back, listen, laugh, and enjoy the good old days. Even if your not good and old. You'll love it!
It was very corny, but the songs were good and it was entertaining.
I would see it again - It was great. I was wishing there was a CD available of this show!
Outstanding!
Great performance, all of the cast were exceptional singers. Lighthearted flashback to the fifties.
The 420-seat Moulton Theatre is a terrific venue for theater. With only 12 rows of unobstructed, comfortable seats in the orchestra seating area, you are never more than 40 feet from the action on stage--and that remains true even if you happen to be seated in the theater's intimate balcony area.
The Marvelous Wonderettes ran for more than a year in North Hollywood and is headed to New York for an Off-Broadway run, but the Laguna Playhouse audiences get to see this “must-take trip down memory lane” first.
The Marvelous Wonderettes brings audiences back to the 1958 Springfield High School prom where they meet the Wonderettes: Betty Jean, Cindy Lou, Missy and Suzy, four girls with hopes and dreams as big as their crinoline skirts—and voices to match! As they talk and sing about their lives and loves, audiences are treated to the girls performing such songs as “Lollipop,” “Dream Lover,” “Stupid Cupid,” “Lipstick on Your Collar,” “It’s My Party,” “It’s In His Kiss” and many more.
