It’s that wonderful time of year when classic Christmas songs can be heard everywhere – on car radios, in malls, offices, and restaurants. The songs are a festive soundtrack that plays in the background as we go about our busy lives. If you are looking for a theater experience that allows you to jump back in time and be bathed in the spirit of the holiday season, Winter Wonderettes fills the bill. During the two-hour show, some of the most beloved and well-known Christmas songs are brought to life by a talented four-woman cast with flair, humor, and plenty of nostalgia.

Ivoryton Playhouse’s holiday show this year is “Winter Wonderettes” created by Roger Bean. It is 1968 and the audience is at the annual Christmas party at the Essex Hardware Store. The quartet of Missy, Suzy, Betty Jean and Cindy Lou, first introduced to us in “The Marvelous Wonderettes”, have decorated the hardware store and are now prepared to entertain the crowd. Some of their numbers include the 1960’s classics “Santa Claus is Comin’ to Town”, “Jingle Bell Rock”, “Run Rudolph Run” and “Winter Wonderland” and these gals will knock your socks off all night long.
