Variety reports that The Wedding Singer will play its final performance on December 31, 2006. The show currently stars Stephen Lynch, Laura Benanti, Felicia Finley, Amy Spanger, Richard Blake, Kevin Cahoon, Rita Gardner, and "American Idol"'s Constantine Maroulis.
"In
this original musical, rock-star wannabe Robbie Hart is New Jersey's
favorite wedding singer. He's the life of the party, the ultimate
master of 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 shark. 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.
The Wedding Singer opened at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre on April 27th after beginning previews on March 30th.
