ceremonies, the unlikely hero of every party and a true believer in the
power of love until his own fiancée leaves him at the altar. Shot
through
the heart, Robbie becomes a newlywed's worst nightmare a wedding
singer
bent on destroying other people's weddings. Enter Julia, a winsome
waitress
who wins his affection and helps Robbie pick up the pieces of his
broken
heart. The only hitch is that Julia is set to marry a Wall Street

Unless Robbie can pull off the performance of a lifetime, the girl of
his
dreams will be gone forever," state press notes on the musical, which
is based on the hit film starring Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore.
