Roger Bean's The Marvelous Wonderettes will have its first off-Broadway revival this spring, beginning performances March 23 at the Kirk Theatre at Theater Row. Opening night is set for April 28.

In the show, four girls step up to sing at their senior prom at Springfield High School in 1958. They perform pop hits from the 1950s and '60s including "Lollipop," "Dream Lover," "Lipstick on Your Collar," "It's My Party," and more. It originally ran 2008-10 at the Westside Theater.

This new production, helmed by producers and directors Tom and Michael D’Angora, will star Christina Bianco (Application Pending), Kathy Brier (Hairspray), Jenna Leigh Green (Bare), and Sally Schwab (A Broadway Diva Christmas). Laura Woyasz will serve as understudy.

The creative team is set to include original costume designer Bobby Pearce, alongside Alex Ringler (choreography), William Wade (musical director), Billy Davis (sets), Shawn Boyle (lights), and Jen Bullock (wigs).
