Lower Ossington Theatre - Marvellous Wonderettes

If you're a fan of Glee, you may want to check out this show. With a similiar format, set in a high school with a singing club, the selection of songs mirrors the girls' current romantic circumstances.

The first act is set in 1958, at the Prom Queen competition, and the second act takes place 10 years later. This musical comedy features songs consistent with each time period and is a lot of fun. The four singers have lovely, strong voices and harmonized together very well.

Add to that the cabaret style room, where you can enjoy wine and drinks with the show, and it makes for a very enjoyable evening. I noticed quite a few couples enjoying a romantic evening, hands intertwined throughout the show ...

I was surprised at the low turn-out. Could Lower Ossington Theater be an undiscovered gem or did the title of the show throw some people off. I admit I thought it might be an all ages show - I brought my pre-teen daughter with me and, while she really enjoyed the show, there is some adult content ......
