Review - The Marvelous Wonderettes & Beast
by Kristin Salaky
- Sep 17, 2008
There's an interesting point buried beneath the innocuous entertainment of writer/director Roger Bean's The Marvelous Wonderettes, a somewhat cute little show utilizing girl group and female soloist pop hits from the 1950s and 60s. Unfortunately, that interesting point could have easily been made with out the tedium of his vapid, unfunny book and standard story. But if you can disregard everything that happens between the songs and just enjoy the singing talents of Farah Alvin (the shy, geeky one), Beth Malone (the trouble-maker), Bets Malone (the air-headed, helium voiced blonde) and Victoria Matlock (Most Likely To Become Ann-Margret) you're apt to have an enjoyable time.

- Mar 24, 2006
It's difficult to figure out exactly what audience Ring of Fire is meant to attract. New York hasn't had a country music radio station in more than a decade and I have a hunch that lovers of the genre may be turned off by the ineffectual interpretations of the material
