Bozeman Children’s Theatre will present the next show of its season with a local production of The Wedding Singer early this month. Three shows will be held Thursday to Saturday, May 1st–3rd, at the Emerson Center for the Arts & Culture. All begin at 6pm.
The play takes audiences back to a time when hair was big, greed was good, collars were up and a wedding singer might just be the coolest guy in the room. Based on the hit Adam Sandler movie, The Wedding Singer‘s sparkling new score does for the ’80s what Hairspray did for the ’60s. Just say yes to the most romantic musical in twenty years.
It’s 1985, and rock star wannabe, Robbie Hart, is New Jersey’s favorite wedding singer. He’s the life of the party until his own fiancée leaves him at the altar. Shot through the heart, Robbie makes every wedding as disastrous as his own. Enter Julia, a winsome waitress who wins his affection. As luck would have it, Julia is about to be married to a Wall Street shark, and, unless Robbie can pull off the performance of a decade, the girl of his dreams will be gone forever.
An ’80s wedding-themed party will follow the closing show on Saturday in the Ballroom. Live music by Savvy. Admission sold separately.
Advance tickets are available at www.bozemanchildrenstheatre.com. The local nonprofit works to empower and connect youth through accessible and educational live theater opportunities. •
