In THE WEDDING SINGER its 1985 and rock-star wannabe Robbie Hart is New Jersey's favorite wedding singer. He's the life of the party-until his own fiancée leaves him at the altar. Shot through the heart, Robbie makes every wedding he plays as disastrous as his own. Enter Julia, a winsome waitress who wins his affection. Only trouble is Julia is about to be married to a Wall Street shark, and unless Robbie can pull off the performance of the decade, the girl of his dreams will be gone forever. With a brand new score that pays loving homage to the pop songs of the 1980s, The Wedding Singer takes us back to a time when hair was big, greed was good, collars were up, and a wedding singer just might be the coolest guy in the room.
Much of the shows fun comes from the tuneful and funny original score by two of Broadway’s freshest young award-winning talents, composer Matthew Sklar and lyricist Chad Beguelin. Plus, THE WEDDING SINGER has a hilarious and romantic book by Chad Beguelin and Tim Herlihy, the screenwriter of the hit movie and former “Saturday Night Live” head writer.
