Wyong Musical Theatre Company will say farewell to The Grove Theatre at Wyong with its final production of the year, The Marvelous Wonderettes, playing from November 15-30.

Written by Roger Bean, The Marvelous Wonderettes follows four high school friends – Cindy Lou, Missy, Betty Jean, and Suzy – as they navigate love, friendship and growing up during their 1958 senior prom.

In Act 2 the girls reunite at their 10-year school reunion and share the stage once again.

The show features a score packed with classic hits from the 1950s and 60s including Mr Sandman, Lollipop, Dream Lover, Respect, and Leader of the Pack.

Director Karen Rowe said the fun show would see the audience singing along.

“It’s been a really nice experience to do something different,” Rowe said.

“I think people will leave with a smile on their face.

“It will be nice to round the theatrical year off with such a feel-good show.

“It’s a big show for the four girls.

“They all sing in every song – and there are 27 of them.”

The “girls” are Olivia Rowe, Felicity Margery, Liz Thomas and Steph Hanlon.

Music Director for the show is Hannah Whitwell and choreographer is Mia Brody.

The Marvelous Wonderettes opens on Friday, November 15, at the Grove Theatre Wyong, opposite Aldi at 1 North Rd, Wyong.

Tickets are available at WMTC.com.au or stagecenta.com and at the door.

In 2025 Wyong Musical Theatre Company will perform Song Contest: Almost Eurovision in the Studio at The Art House.
