Audition bookings are now open for UMMTA’s Semester 1 show for 2010,
The Wedding Singer!
If you’ve seen the movie, you’ll know the story of The Wedding Singer – it’s 1985, and Robbie Hart is a hugely popular wedding singer in New Jersey. He’s a hopeless romantic who could say all the right things to salvage any situation, but his luck changes at his own wedding to high school sweetheart Linda. Unfortunately Robbie is left standing alone at the altar – he sinks into a deep depression and ends his career as a wedding singer altogether.
Things are looking down for Robbie, until Julia Sullivan appears. She’s a new waitress at the banquet hall where Robbie plays his wedding gigs, and is engaged to Glenn, a fabulously wealthy junk bond dealer. Robbie and Julia quickly become friends, and while planning her wedding together, romance develops between the pair. What ensues is a comedy of errors – 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 plays loving homage to the pop songs of the 1980’s, 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. Slap on your spandex and enjoy the ride!
