The Wedding Singer — Cancelled

The year is 1985. The place is New Jersey. A wannabe rock star (aka a professional wedding singer) is left at the altar and finally changes his tune.

 


The Wedding Singer

Cancelled

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 new score does for the '80s what Hairspray did for the '60s. Just say yes to the most romantic musical in twenty years.

Show Dates — Cancelled

Friday, May 1st at 7:30 pm
Saturday, May 2nd at 7:30 pm
