Robbie Carmellotti - Director/Choreographer
Phil Haeusler - Musical Director
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 fiancee 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. Only trouble is, Julia is about to married to a wall street shark, and unless Robbie can pull off the performance of the decade, the girl of his dreams will be gone forever. With a brand-new score that plays loving homage to the pop songs of the 1980's, The Wedding Singer takes us back to a time when hair was big, greed was good, collars were up, and a wedding singer just might be the coolest guy in the room.
