The Wonderettes are back! This seasonal celebration finds the girls entertaining at the annual Harper’s Hardware Holiday Party. When Santa turns up missing, the girls use their talent and creative ingenuity to save the holiday party! Featuring great versions of holiday classics such as “Santa Claus Is Comin’ to Town,” “Jingle Bell Rock,” “Run, Rudolph, Run,” and “Winter Wonderland,” the result is, of course, marvelous! This energetic and glittering holiday package is guaranteed to delight audiences of all ages.

Cast Breakdown
The cast calls for 4 women. All auditionees must be at least 18 years old.
The production team is seeking a diverse and inclusive cast. All persons will be considered regardless of race and/or ethnicity, unless specified in character description. Gender corresponds to the characters in the script. People of any gender identities are invited to audition for any characters they feel comfortable with.
Missy: (Soprano with belt)
Always the over-achiever of the group, Missy has now blossomed into a full-fledged adult over-achiever. She is an elementary school teacher who has recently returned from her honeymoon. She controls the evening’s events, even when Betty Jean is in charge. She has an inner wild side that comes out every once in a while- much to her surprise and embarrassment.
Cindy Lou: (Mezzo Soprano with belt)
The “bad girl” of the group, now reformed (to a point). She is cool with a dry and sassy wit. She has an incredible soft side and inner depth, and she sings lead vocal line in most group songs.
Suzy:(Mezzo/Alto with a big belt. Tap solo)
Suzy is happy-go-lucky, a little giddy, a little silly, and a little pregnant. Her pregnancy has brought out her attention-deficit disorder, and she reverts to childhood on the drop of a dime. She is married to Ritchie, her high school sweetheart, who is running the lights for the performance.
Betty Jean: (Strong Alto with big belt)
The self-anointed clown of the group. She loves that she is finally in charge, of only for this one performance. She has worked at Harper’s Hardware since high school and is now in corporate sales, a fact she’s very proud of. She married her high school boyfriend, and we learn that they have recently separated for good. She has a strength that belies her goofiness.
