This past weekend, Heartland Productions premiered The
Marvelous Wonderettes at the Columbia Ballroom in Downtown Lafayette. The
Marvelous Wonderettes takes you to the 1958 Springfield High School prom where
we meet the Wonderettes, four girls with hopes and dreams as big as their
crinoline skirts! As we learn about their lives and loves, we are treated to
the girls performing such classic ‘50s and ‘60s songs as “Lollipop,” “Dream
Lover,” “Stupid Cupid,” “Lipstick on Your Collar,” “Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss
Me,” “It’s My Party,” "Heatwave," and over 20 other classic hits!
You’ve never had this much fun at a prom and you will never forget The
Marvelous Wonderettes—a must-take musical trip down memory lane!
Audience members also participate throughout the evening as
they cast their vote for prom queen. The audience members’ options among the
Wonderettes are perfectionist Missy (Caitlin Benner), tom boy Betty Jean (Kate
Martin), lovable Suzy (Amanda Walker), or gorgeous Cindy Lou (Sarah Weaver). People
may also be pulled up onto the stage by the Wonderettes for a song or two!
The production features professional performances and talented
vocals by Caitlin Benner, Kate Martin, Amanda Walker, and Sarah Weaver. The
audience feels transported back to the 50s and 60s as they relive the classic
songs sung to perfection by each member of the cast. Sarah Weaver wows the
audience with her rendition of “Son of a Preacher Man” and Caitlin Benner
devolves everyone into laughter as she performs, “Secret Love”. Nearly every
moment is filled with laughter and fun!
Please bring your family and friends to this hilarious and
endearing production. The show continues next weekend on June 6th, 7th,
and 8th. To purchase and reserve tickets online, click here.
