Audiences can ready themselves to swing into wedding season with The Wedding Singer, the Tony-nominated Rom-Com musical adaptation of Adam Sandler’s 1998 hit movie. Rewind to 1985 when collars were popped, hair was huge and the wedding singer was the raddest rocker at the reception. Robbie Hart, a beloved wedding singer, is the life of the party until his fiancée flees, leaving him hanging at the altar. Sad, somber and feeling “Shot through the heart,” Robbie turns every wedding into a wreck. Enter Julia, a winsome waitress who works the wedding circuit alongside Robbie. This Gen X musical gem features 80s references, a pop-inspired score and dynamic dance numbers.
