As we learn about their lives and loves, the girls serenade us with classic ‘50s hits including “Lollipop,” “Dream Lover,” “Stupid Cupid,” and “Lipstick on Your Collar.” In Act II, the Wonderettes reunite to take the stage and perform at their ten-year reunion. We learn about the highs and lows the girls have experienced in the past decade and are charmed to find that no matter what life throws their way, they will conquer it together.

She knows she will be named Prom Queen and acts out against her best friend Betty Jean when things don’t go her way. Vocal Range: Mezzo-Soprano Belt: E3–F5. Sings melody lines on most songs, so the other girls hang their vocals on this voice. -Missy (18, 28) is the over-achiever of the group. Very controlled, very concerned that everything at the prom turns out wonderful and perfect. Head of the Prom Decorations Committee, and absolutely smitten with her music teacher. Her best friend is Suzy. Vocal Range: Soprano: G3–A5. Wide range, floating high vocals and belting throughout the show. -Betty Jean (18, 28) is the class clown and tomboy, always vying for attention with Cindy Lou, her best friend. Vocal Range: Alto with strong low range: D3–E5. -Suzy (18, 28) is the gum-chewing, happy-go-lucky, go-along girl. Super-best friends with Missy, Suzy is always a little giddy and a little silly, and finds great pleasure in everything she does. Vocal Range: Mezzo-Alto with both sweet and soulful voice: G3–E5. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Point Loma Playhouse commits to be inclusive and seeks to cast a diverse group of actors within the needs of each production.
