THEATRE REVIEW: ‘The Marvelous Wonderettes’
We welcome Stephanie Garcia to the La Mirada Blog team to provide the community with theatre news and reviews.
The Marvelous Wonderettes is not worth seeing once - it's worth seeing twice! Once to enjoy each one of the remarkable comedic actor- vocalists and a second time to laugh at all the understated antics all four of them do that provide the hilarity of the show. Written and directed by Roger Bean, "Wonderettes" is overall a playlist of hit pop songs of the 1950s and 60s with a surprise second half full of early 70s songs. As I watched the show I wondered if the songs were actually bringing back memories for all the "baby boomers" in the audience. Council member Larry Mowles definitely thought the show was a complete success, when I asked him what he thought of the play. "It brought back a lot of memories, I danced to most of that music I knew girls in high school just like those four...they did an excellent job portraying the 50s and 60s."
