Alexander Richardson - "River Cities' Reader"

​

"The Marvelous Wonderettes, directed by Ryan Scoble, is the closing production of the Clinton Area Showboat Theatre's 2024 season, and what a sendoff! Featuring gorgeous vocals, fun choreography, and enough nostalgia to give you a toothache, this production is a must-see for those who grew up in the '50s and '60s, or anyone who's a fan of those eras of music."

​

"I was smiling most of the two hours I was there...and that was even without a plot! This is in large part to the cast, all of whom are staggering singers. It's also thanks to Scoble, who smartly stages the show so that things avoid growing stagnant too soon."

​

"But overall, The Marvelous Wonderettes is like an extra-large theatrical sundae. There's not much nutritional value, there's enough of it to give you a slight brain freeze, but it's so delicious - and the weather's been so miserable - that you don't even mind."
