Produced by David Leonard (Duran, Duran, John Mellencamp, Paul McCartney), David Lai and Matthew Sklar, the original cast recording of The Wedding Singer features a cast starring Stephen Lynch as Robbie Hart and Laura Benanti as Julia, along with Richard Blake, Kevin Cahoon, Felicia Finley, Rita Gardner, Matthew Saldivar and Amy Spanger. Directed by John Rando and choreographed by Rob Ashford, The Wedding Singer features original music by Matthew Sklar, book by Chad Beguelin & Tim Herlihy and lyrics by Chad Beguelin. The musical director is James Sampliner.

"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.

"The recently combined Sony Classical/Columbia Masterworks and RCA Victor, as part of the Sony BMG merger, led to the formation of Masterworks Broadway, which houses one of the most formidable catalogues of cast albums anywhere, with recent titles such as Tony-winner Avenue Q, and Grammy-award winners The Producers and Hairspray, as well as the treasured original cast recordings of West Side Story, A Chorus Line, Sweeney Todd, Company and Sunday In The Park With George, among many others. Masterworks Broadway is pleased to announce The Wedding Singer as the debut recording on this new label," state press notes.
