The Marvelous Wonderettes Opens Beck Center’s 2011/12 Professional Theater Season

Tickets are on sale for Beck Center’s 2011/2012 professional theater season featuring six productions new to Northeast Ohio.

The season kicks-off with the regional premiere of The Marvelous Wonderettes on the Mackey Main Stage, September 16 through October 16, 2011. Show times are 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and 3 p.m. Sundays.

You’ll meet the Wonderettes at their 1958 high school prom – four girls with hopes and dreams as big as their crinoline skirts and voices to match. Learn about their lives and loves as they perform your favorite ‘50s and ‘60s tunes. Fast-forward to their 10-year reunion where this dynamic group performs once again and we see how their lives and friendships have changed and endured.

The Marvelous Wonderettes won the 2007 LA Ovation Award for Best Musical and the LA Times called it, “Funny, fresh and well….marvelous!”

Beck’s 2011/12 season offers an eclectic mix of musicals, comedies and dramas. It includes an encore production of last season’s smash hit musical Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Spring Awakening, and Legally Blonde The Musical on the Main Stage, and Race, Velocity of Autumn, and Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson in the Studio Theater.

Individual tickets, subscriptions and flex passes can be purchased online at beckcenter.org or by calling 216.521.2540 x10.
