'The Marvelous Wonderettes' a high-energy trip

Post Gazette: "If your car blasts the music of the 1950s and '60s and 'Forever Plaid' really floats your boat, 'The Marvelous Wonderettes' may be just the ticket to Cloud 9 on the nostalgia meter.
Roger Bean, whose other musicals include circa-1940s 'The Andrews Brothers' and 'Summer of Love,' has created a girl-group extravaganza of penny-candy colors, high energy and 33 songs from the oldies station songbook -- from 'All I Have to Do Is Dream' to 'You Don't Own Me' alphabetically, or as the plot goes, from 'Lipstick on Your Collar' to 'Respect.'
