The musical revue The Marvelous Wonderettes celebrated its first anniversary at the Westside Theatre Sept. 14.

The current cast — Kirsten Bracken, Misty Cotton, Christina DeCicco and Lindsay Mendez — were presented with a one-year-anniversary cake following the evening's performance.

Those in attendance included the current company, creator and director Roger Bean, producer David Elzer, and former cast members Farah Alvin and Kristen Beth Williams.

Wonderettes, according to press notes, "features the iconic sounds of the '50s and '60s in a journey back to the 1958 Springfield High School prom where the Wonderettes — Betty Jean, Cindy Lou, Missy and Suzy — are four young girls with hopes and dreams as big as their crinoline skirts." Songs included in the new show are "Lollipop," "Dream Lover," "Stupid Cupid," "Lipstick on Your Collar," "Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me," "It's My Party" and "It's in His Kiss."

Here is a look at the curtain call and post-show reception held at 44 1/2 on Tenth Avenue:
