| THE MARVELOUS WONDERETTES: DREAM ON play program |
The Travelling Toe and four Dear Friends traveled to the cute town of Granbury to attend a musical comedy at the historic Granbury Opera House. OK, Dear Readers, The Travelling Toe must admit we did have a some chow before the play!

Previously, we had met The Marvelous Wonderettes when they sang for their High School graduation in 1959. In the second act of that musical, they again performed for their classmates at the 10 year reunion int 1969. It was also presented at the Granbury Opera House.
The musical picks up several months after the 1969 reunion. They had been asked to perform for the retirement party of a favorite teacher, Mrs. McPherson.
Of course as the girls sing popular songs of the era, secrets each have surface as they share them with each other... and of course with us the audience.
After intermission, The Marvelous Wonderettes are back to celebrate the 20 year class reunion in 1979. As you might remember in the 1970's Disco ruled the airwaves.
Each of The Marvelous Wonderettes, Betty Jean, Cindy Lou, Missy and Suzy have great voices but they also harmonized so well.
Having seen the first installment of this fun musical, this was a must see of our little theater group. We so enjoyed it
The songs they sang were all so familiar to us Golden Girls.
Just a few are:
Build Me Up Buttercup
Downtown
The Hustle
I Can See Clearly Now
I Know A Place
I Will Survive
We Are Family
The Marvelous Wonderettes
Betty Jean
Kelly Nickell
Cindy Lou
Caitlan Leblo
MIssy
Emily Warwick
Suzy
Amber Lanning
The Wonderettes were backed up by a small band who were also marvelous. Also must mention the costumes certainly reflected the fashions of the time period.
What a fun and enjoyable way to spend a hot Sunday afternoon in Central Texas. And if the "girls' come back for the 30th reunion in 1989, we will be there!!!
