Northlight Theatre’s regional premiere of The Marvelous Wonderettes comes with extra cachet.
That’s because Northlight has hired Roger Bean, the author and director of this still-running hit off-Broadway jukebox revue, to direct its production in Skokie. See what happens when four singing high school ladies provide the entertainment for their 1958 prom, and then a decade later at their 10-year reunion. The Marvelous Wonderettes plays 7:30 p.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays; 1 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Wednesdays; 8 p.m. Fridays; 2:30 p.m. and 8 p.m. Saturdays; and 2:30 p.m. and 7 p.m. Sundays through Oct. 25 (some dates vary) at Northlight Theatre, 9501 Skokie, Skokie. Tickets are $25-$50 in previews, and $25-$55 during the regular run; call 847-673-6300 or see www.northlight.org. Photo by Michael Brosilow
