The Wedding Singer now at the Showboat Theater

The Wedding Singer tells the story of Robbie Hart, whose songs make everyone else’s wedding dreams come true. But after he’s stood up at the altar by his rock goddess fiance, he makes every wedding as disastrous as his own. When a sweet waitress named Julia (played by Sydney Jaye) pulls him out of the dumps, Robbie is smitten. But Julia is engaged to a Wall Street stock broker, so Robbie must pull off the performance of the decade or lose his one chance at true love.

“The Wedding Singer is one of the best musicals of the last 20 years–updating the Romeo and Juliet story to the “I Want My MTV” world of 1985 New Jersey–with a thrilling and hilarious happy ending. The show is pure joy, and this production explodes off the stage with talent from our amazing cast and design team.” – Director, James Beaudry

Rounding out the cast are Sarah Juliet Shaw as Holly, Anthony James as Sammy, Benjamin Michael Hall as George, Noah Wohlsen as Glen, Katelyn Murphy as Linda, Lisa Crosby Wipperling as Angie, and area favorite Nancy Teerlinck as Robbie’s rapping grandma, Rosie.

The Wedding Singer ensemble includes Hannah Asay, Tiffany Beckford, Jordan Drake, Kiara Durbin, Jaheim Hugan, Carter Jargo, Sarah Lewandowski, Megan Grace Ludwig, Dan Rice, Brian Selcik, and Hannah Zieser. J.Kathleen Castellanos serves as Music Director. The design team includes Mollie Abkes, Montana Carlson, Sterling Oliver, Dylan Dutro and Brian Seckfort. Patrick Lee Johnson and Teghan Reed are Stage Managers.

The Wedding Singer contains some adult language and other MTV-era content.
