Society Event: The Wedding Singer Musical
Location: McNally Main Auditorium
Let’s head back to the 1980s! Rock star wannabe Robbie Heart is New Jersey’s most in-demand wedding singer. However, when his own wedding plans go down the drain and he is left standing at the altar, Robbie’s heartbreak and grief suddenly make him the worst wedding singer you can find. He ruins every wedding he plays at until he connects with Julia, a pretty young waitress who dreams of her own perfect wedding. There’s just one problem: she’s already engaged to Glen, a rich, shallow Wall Street broker. Will Robbie manage to reclaim his spot as the best wedding singer in New Jersey or will he let his unlucky trail of heartbreak force him to adapt to a new course of life.
