The Wedding Singer

Why see The Wedding Singer?

Let's Dance

Strictly Come Dancing's Kevin Clifton takes us back to the heady 1980s in this delightful musical adaptation of Adam Sandler's 1998 film, featuring towering bouffants and shoulder pads a-plenty. No stranger to taking a turn on the stage, the Strictly professional has become a firm show favourite in recent years, with roles in Dirty Dancing and Rock of Ages giving him the chance to display his musical chops. Don't miss him as he steps into the leading role of Robbie Hart, the eponymous Wedding Singer.

What is the story?

Taking us back to a time before C.D players and iPhones, The Wedding Singer takes us into the world of Robbie Hart, a wedding singer with rock-star ambitions whose joy in his work is doubled by his own impending nuptials. But even though he may be New Jersey's choice of wedding entertainment, his own road to the altar is not so smooth. Enter Julia, a delightful waitress who might just help Robbie rediscover his purpose and his heart!

Debuting on Broadway in 2006, it's a hilarious and touching adaptation from Ched Beguelin, Tim Herlihy and Matthew Sklav (the team behind Elf the Musical) that tells Robbie's story anew with fabulous new songs, dance numbers, romance and plenty of totally radical 80s references.

Great evening out

Having lived through the 1980's I can confirm that Nick Winston has got the songs and dancing spot on as he did with "Rock of Ages" last year. Kevin Clifton and Rhiannon Chesterman as Robbie and Julia have great chemistry and voices and the rest of the ensemble ably support them. Everyone's comic timing is spot on, this is a very funny show. Some lovely songs too which I've been humming for the last 5 days. A funny and feelgood show. ... Read more
