Set in a beautifully decorated and brightly lit hardware store, The Wonderettes are the entertainment for the employee Christmas party. And how they entertain! Outfitted in lovely and vibrant vintage dresses, the gals act, sing, dance and engage the audience from beginning to end.

Starting with “Mister Santa,” a Christmas version of “Mr. Sandman,” and finishing with “Winter Wonderland,” “Winter Wonderettes” is a nonstop frolic and perfect for anyone who needs a little Christmas.
