The Wedding Singer’s fiancé may have left him speechless when she decided not to show up to exchange nuptials, but he certainly will be singing up a storm when the national tour for the Broadway production kicks off on August 31. The show kicks off at the Phillips Center in Gainesville, Florida for a one-night engagement, then will officially open at the Birmingham Jefferson Convention Complex in Birmingham, Alabama.
The cast for the play includes Merritt Dave Janes as Robbie Hart and Erin Elizabeth Coors as Julia Sullivan. The play is based on the successful film of the same name which starred Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore. It takes place in 1985 and circles around the life of wannabe rocker Robbie Hart. His current job is serenading love-struck couples on their big day. Unfortunately his own fiancé ditches him at the alter at their own wedding. His new friend, Julia who happens to also be engaged to a power-hungry jerk seems to be just the girl for our depressed wedding singer. The question is: will Robbie be able to sing his way into Julia’s heart? Get a pair of Wedding Singer tickets and find out for yourself.
