The all-female vocal group, The Wonderettes, is entertaining at the annual Harper’s Hardware holiday party in 1968. When Santa turns up missing, the women use their talent and creative ingenuity to save the holiday party.

Featuring great ’60s versions of holiday classics such as “Santa Claus Is Comin’ to Town,” “Jingle Bell Rock,” “Run, Rudolph, Run,” and “Winter Wonderland,” the result is a feel-good holiday romp.

This energetic and glittering holiday package is guaranteed to delight audiences of all ages!

Written by Roger Bean, directed by Linda Abbott and produced by Dennis Murphy, this holiday show is a sequel to “ The Marvelous Wonderettes ,” which played off-Broadway, across the U.S. and in the United Kingdom.
