You've seen Adam Sandler's classic flick — now catch the singing, dancing stage adaptation.
Overview
UPDATE Thursday, January 27: Due to COVID-19, a number of dates for The Wedding Singer: The Musical Comedy's Melbourne run have been rescheduled, including the January 27 opening night performance. Dates will now run from February 5–20. Head to the website to see which shows are affected and when they've been rescheduled for, and to buy tickets.
Classic flicks just keep making the leap to the stage, turning their big-screen tales into song-filled musical adaptations in the process. From 9 to 5 and Muriel's Wedding to Moulin Rouge! and Shrek, a hefty number of beloved movies have done just that — and now Adam Sandler's smash-hit film The Wedding Singer has joined them.
The Wedding Singer: The Musical Comedy originally hit Melbourne in 2021 — but one season just wasn't enough. So, it's bringing its tunes to town again, playing Arts Centre Melbourne from Thursday, January 27–Sunday, February 13.
If you've seen the movie, then you'll know what you're in for — with The Wedding Singer: The Musical Comedy delivering an all-singing, all-dancing stage show based on the hilarious 90s flick. And it's from the same crew that propelled it to sell-out success on Broadway and across the UK, including the writer of the original movie, Tim Herlihy.
This one will yank you right into The Wedding Singer's 80s world of big hair and classic wedding bangers, thanks to a toe-tapping score that's sure to prompt a few hearty crowd singalongs.
It retells the story of party-loving wedding singer and wannabe rock star Robbie Hart, who's left stranded at the altar at his own nuptials. Heartbroken, he sets out to destroy every other wedding he's a part of, until a chance encounter with a waitress: Drew Barrymore's character Julia. Now, he just has to win over the girl... and somehow put a stop to her own upcoming marriage along the way.
