The Marvelous Wonderettes ◊ By Roger Bean It’s the Springfield High School Prom, 1958, where we meet the Wonderettes, four girls with hopes and dreams as big as their crinoline skirts! As we learn about their lives and loves, we are treated to classic 50’s and 60’s songs like “Lollipop”, “Dream Lover”, “Stupid Cupid”, “It’s My Party”, and more than 20 other classic hits. The Mill produced the holiday sequel to this show two years ago – now we bring you the terrific show that started it all! Theme Ideas

I Love a Piano ◊ The Music of Irving Berlin This wonderful show celebrates the music and lyrics of one of America’s greatest and most prolific writers. It follows the journey of a piano as it moves in and out of American lives from the turn of the century to the present. Along the way, the story comes to vibrant life with over 60 of Irving Berlin’s most beloved songs, including classics such as “Blue Skies”, “There’s No Business Like Show Business”, “Puttin’ On The Ritz”, “Cheek to Cheek”, “Always”, “How Deep Is The Ocean”, “Anything You Can Do I Can Do Better”, “God Bless America”, and, of course, “I Love A Piano”. Alternately heartbreaking and hilarious, rousing and reflective, this show is a fitting tribute to the man Jerome Kern famously said had “no place in American music – he is American music.”
