In this time of social distancing and remaining responsibly indoors, we are all looking for ways to brighten our days and get moving any way we can!
In the spirit of celebrating theater and providing motivation to get up and get shakin', we're taking a look back and paying tribute to some of the greatest dance numbers in musical theater history!
Today's number, 'It's Your Wedding Day' from The Wedding Singer!
The Wedding Singer, based off the 1998 film, features music by Matthew Sklar, lyrics by Chad Beguelin, and a book by Beguelin and Tim Herlihy. The original production premiered on Broadway in 2006, featuring direction by John Rando, with choreography by Rob Ashford.
