Look, writing a love song is hard! Okay?
Robbie
It’s 1985, and rock star wannabe, Robbie Hart, is New Jersey’s favourite 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 as disastrous as his own. Enter Julia, a winsome waitress who wins his affection. As luck would have it, 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.
Following Green Door’s acclaimed productions of Sweet Charity and Assassins, 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. Based on the hit Adam Sandler movie, The Wedding Singer’s sparkling score does for the ’80s what Hairspray did for the ’60s. Say ‘yes’ to the most romantic musical you’ll see all year!
Presented by Green Door Theatre at Platform, Glasgow, October 2024.
