THE WEDDING SINGER -- it’s 1985 and rock-star wannabe Robbie Hart is New Jersey’s favorite wedding singer. He’s the life of the party, until his own fiancee leaves him at the altar. Shot through the heart, Robbie makes every wedding as disastrous as his own. Then when he meets Julia, an admiring young waitress, Robbie falls madly in love. Only trouble is Julia is about to be married to a Wall Street shark, and unless Robbie can pull off the performance of a decade, the girl of his dreams will be gone forever. With a 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 might just be the coolest guy in the room.
Big ensemble with a lot of great small parts all ages and all types needed. Ages 18 and Up are invited to audition for this show. All auditioners will be considered for all parts. Dancers and non-Dancers are needed. Strong Male Singer/Actor and Guitarist for the Role of Robbie.
