Stephen Lynch and Laura Benanti in The Wedding Singer
New York: The Wedding Singer, based on the film starring Adam Sandler, opens today at Broadway's Al Hirschfeld Theater.
Starring in the musical is Stephen Lynch as Robbie Hart, Laura Benanti as Julia, Matthew Saldivar as Sammy, Richard Blake as Glen Gulia, Rita Gardner as Rosie, Kevin Cahoon as George, Amy Spanger as Holly, and Felicia Finley as Linda.
The production features music by Matthew Sklar, lyrics by Chad Beguelin, book by Tim Herlihy and Chad Beguelin, and direction by John Rando. The creative team includes choreography by Rob Ashford, scenic design by Scott Pask, costume design by Gregory Gale, and lighting design by Brian MacDevitt.
The Wedding Singer is set in 1985 and rock-star wannabe Robbie Hart is New Jersey's favorite wedding singer. He's the life of the party — until his own fiancé leaves him at the altar. Shot through the heart, Robbie makes every wedding as disastrous as his own. Enter Julia, a sweet-tempered waitress who wins his affection. The only trouble is Julia is about to be married to a Wall Street shark. Unless Robbie can pull off the performance of the decade, the girl of his dreams will be gone forever.
