“The Marvelous Wonderettes” Marred By Cast With Legs On Upside-Down
Penobscot Theatre Company’s production of “The Marvelous Wonderettes” has all the necessary elements for a hit musical. Fantastic voices, clever choreography and a hit parade of classic pop songs. Christie Robinson, Brianne Beck, Melissa Hammans and Sara Dobrinich as the four-piece singing group from the 1950s and 60s all can deliver the goods. So why does the show feel a little underwhelming? Perhaps it’s due to the fact that other musicals about a four-piece singing group from the 1950s that just finished a revived run at the theatre (the smash hit “Forever Plaid,” if you weren’t lucky enough to see it) set the bar a bit too high. Perhaps it’s the pacing, which clips along quickly in places, and drags in others. Or — and this may be the best answer — the show itself is just not that good.(BangorDailyNews)
