Playhouse South to Present THE WEDDING SINGER

Remember the totally awesome days of neon and spandex? They're Here! Playhouse South is going full on 1980's with their production of THE WEDDING SINGER, based on the popular 1998 film starring Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore. The show takes place in 1986 and follows Robbie Hart, New Jersey's favorite wedding singer. When his fiancee leaves him at the altar, he discovers that he cannot stand to be around weddings and lashes out at every happy couple for whom he sings. Heartbroken, he is forced to reexamine the meaning of love and marriage before he destroys every wedding in New Jersey. With the help of Julia, a local catering waitress, Robbie embarks on a hilarious journey of identity, romance, and Bar Mitzvahs.

THE WEDDING SINGER became a hit on Broadway in 2006, where it was nominated for five Tony Awards including Best Musical and Best Original Score. With an original 80s pop score inspired by the likes of Cyndi Lauper, David Bowie, Boy George, and Pat Benatar, audiences will be transported to the biggest party of them all: the 1980s rock concert. The score includes Adam Sandler's hits from the movie, "Somebody Kill Me" and "I Wanna Grow Old With You." The original Broadway score will be sung by a large cast of local performers, including Jeremy Aldridge as Robbie, Lauren Stubbs as Julia, Michael Vanderveen Jr. as Sammy, Brett Norgaard as George, Lisa Glover as Holly, John-Michael Vanover as Glen, Mackensie Vonderbrink as Linda and Donna Cason as Grandma Rosie.

Playhouse South is a non-profit organization dedicated to bringing the Kettering and Dayton community together through the arts. Don't miss the rockin' 80's performances on Nov 14, 15, 21 and 22 at 8:00 P.M. and on Nov 16 and 22 at 2:00 P.M. at the Clark Haines Theatre located in the Barnes Board of Education Bldg. at 3750 Far Hills Ave, Kettering, OH.
