The Marvelous Wonderettes is a musical comedy with a book by Roger Bean. It has been played off-Broadway at the Westside Theatre in New York. The show, which uses pop songs from the 1950s and 1960s as a vehicle to tell its story, pays homage to the high school Songleader squads of the 50s. When called upon to perform at their senior prom as a last minute replacement, Springfield High Songleaders Betty Jean, Cindy Lou, Missy and Suzy, rally together to entertain their classmates in four-part harmony.
The musical includes the songs "Lollipop", "Dream Lover", "Stupid Cupid", "Lipstick on Your Collar", "Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me", "It's My Party", and "It's In His Kiss (The Shoop Shoop Song)".
The original off-Broadway cast included Beth Malone (Betty Jean), Victoria Matlock (Cindy Lou), Farah Alvin (Missy), and Bets Malone (Suzy). The musical opened on September 14, 2008 at Westside Theatre in New York.
