I’m Just Wild About Harry 

Playwrights: Gary Lamb & William A. Reilly (Adaptation)

Run Time: 2 hr 5 min

Cast Size: 4F, 5M

Themes: Mistaken Identity, Romance, Deception, Cross-Dressing, Classic Adaptation

Synopsis: An exciting musical romp based on Charley’s Aunt, featuring nostalgic favorites such as “Daisy Bell (A Bicycle Built for Two),” “Aba Daba Honeymoon,” “You Made Me Love You,” and, of course, the title tune, “I’m Just Wild About Harry.” In turn-of-the-century Milwaukee, Jack and Harry need a chaperone so they can entertain their sweethearts. Enter their friend Benjamin to impersonate Harry’s Aunt, a rich widow from Brazil. Hilarity ensues when Harry’s Aunt actually arrives on the scene, and this musical farce of mistaken identity climaxes in a delightfully happy conclusion.

The Marvelous Wonderettes (Glee Club Edition) 

Playwright: Roger Bean

Run Time: 1 hr 30 min

Cast Size: 4F, Ensemble (Flexible)

Themes: Friendship, Fun, Nostalgia, High School, Jealousy, Growing Up, Graduation, Girl Power

Synopsis: This all-new version of the show combines the first act of The Marvelous Wonderettes with the first act of the sequel Wonderettes: Caps & Gowns, adding additional characters from the Springfield High Chipmunk Glee Club (any number of boys or girls you need) to create a truly flexible large-cast version of this perennial favorite.

We begin at the 1958 Springfield High School Senior Prom, where we meet Betty Jean, Cindy Lou, Missy, and Suzy, four girls with hopes and dreams as big as their crinoline skirts! As we learn about their lives, loves, and friendships, the girls serenade us with classic ’50s hits as they compete for prom queen. Act II zooms ahead to graduation day for the Class of 1958, and the Wonderettes celebrate with their fellow classmates and teachers as they prepare for their next step toward a bright future.
