The Marvelous Wonderettes opening night at the Miracle Theatre was a blast from the past

Audiences left the Miracle Theatre humming classic 50's and 60's tunes from the on-stage antics of the four-girl wonder act at the opening night of Actors’ Playhouse’s production of The Marvelous Wonderettes on Oct. 2.

The show is also currently playing Off-Broadway. Dressed in the classic 1950's style complete with ponytails and hoop skirts, the guests continued the evening’s celebratory events at a post show party at The Westin Colonnade, dinning on old-fashioned comfort food and dancing to music by Roxy Productions.

In the true Actors’ Playhouse tradition guests were greeted by Chairman of the Board Dr. Lawrence E. Stein, Executive Producing Director Barbara S. Stein and Artistic Director David Arisco as the crowd enjoyed a pre-show reception courtesy of Bacardi, U.S.A. and Premiere Beverage Co. with music by Bravo Musicians.

On behalf of Actors’ Playhouse, Barbara Stein thanked guests and patrons as well as the show’s sponsors including American Express, Assurant, NBC 6, Spanish Broadcasting System, Comcast, Miami-Dade County, The Miami Herald, The Funding Arts Network, Bacardi, U.S.A., Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar, Pasha's, The Westin Colonnade and Roxy Productions.

Among the guests were former mayor Dorothy Thompson and husband Jack, school board member Dr. Lawrence Feldman, former school board member Betsy Kaplan, Senator Gwen Margolis, retired ambassador Dr. Volker Anding and wife Erin, Dr. Lawrence Kessler, and Sheppard and Linda Faber.
