Synopsis: "Take a musical trip down memory lane to the 1958 Springfield High School prom where we meet The Wonderettes, four girls with hopes and dreams as big as their crinoline skirts! Experience their lives and loves from prom night to their 10 year reunion, as the girls perform such classic 50's and 60's songs as 'Lollipop,' 'Dream Lover,' 'Stupid Cupid,' 'Son of a Preacher Man,' 'Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me,' 'It's My Party,' and more than 20 chart topping hits!"

Originally created, written and directed by Roger Bean, the creative team for this revival features music direction by William Wade, choreography by Alex Ringler, scenic design by Billy Davis, costume design by Tony nominee Bobby Pearce, lighting design by Shawn Boyle, and wig design by Jen Bullock. Tom and Michael D'Angora serve as both producers and directors.
