Emerald Coast Theatre Company (ECTC) presents The Marvelous Wonderettes – Caps and Gowns, January 19 – March 3, 2024. We’re back in 1958, and it’s time for the Wonderettes to graduate in this delightful sequel to the smash Off-Broadway hit! Join Betty Jean, Cindy Lou, Missy, and Suzy as they sing about their final year in high school, celebrate with their fellow classmates and teachers, and prepare for their next step toward a bright future. Act II zooms ahead to 1968, where the girls perform as bride and bridesmaids to celebrate Missy’s marriage to Mr. Lee! Featuring “Rock Around the Clock,” “At the Hop,” “Dancing in the Street,” “River Deep, Mountain High,” and 25 more hits, The Marvelous Wonderettes – Caps and Gowns will have the audience cheering for more!

Nathanael Fisher, co-founder and producing artistic director of ECTC says, “This one really takes you back… Back to an easier time when singing and dancing in the street was just a part of life!”
