Based on the 1998 American romantic comedy film directed by Frank Coraci and written by Tim Herlihy, The Wedding Singer musical debuted on Broadway with music by Matthew Sklar, lyrics by Chad Beguelin, and a book by Beguelin and Tim Herlihy. The 2006 original Broadway production was nominated for five Tony Awards, including best musical, best original score, and best choreography.
The musical revolves around Robbie, who sings at weddings, his failed relationship with his former fiancée, and his romance with a new love, Julia. With help from a few friends, and a few Las Vegas impersonators, Robbie and Julia eventually overcome their struggles and admit their true feelings for one another.
The score includes familiar favorites like “Somebody Kill Me” and “Grow Old With You,” while also including songs not in the movie, like “Someday” and “It’s Your Wedding Day.” A heartwarming and humorous story heavily influenced by the 1980’s, The Wedding Singer is sure to delight audiences of all ages.
