The Wedding Singer to Tour in 2021

David Venn Enterprises (Bring It On The Musical) will bring the Broadway musical The Wedding Singer to Australian audiences in 2021. 

From April 2021, Melbourne (from Apr 30), Gold Coast (from June 16) and Sydney (from July 10) will be treated to the feel-good, romantic musical. Remember cassette players, ATARI, slap bands and outrageous hair? It’s time to dust off your 80s best and get ready for some all-out fun!

It’s 1985. Hair is huge, collars are up and a wedding singer might just be the coolest guy in the room. Penned by the writer of the original movie starring Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore, The Wedding Singer musical achieved a Tony Award nomination for Best Musical.

“After an extremely challenging year, we couldn’t be happier to announce a national tour of The Wedding Singer. It’s such a joyful, nostalgic romp of pure rom-com fun, and hopefully just what the doctor ordered. I can’t wait to see audiences dress in their 80s finest and join the party of the year!” says producer David Venn.

Robbie Hart is New Jersey’s number one wedding singer and the life of the party. That is until his own fiancée strands him at the altar. Bitter and broken, Robbie begins to make every wedding as disastrous as his own until a warm-hearted waitress named Julia intervenes. Only trouble is, Julia’s about to be–you guessed it–married! Can Robbie pull off the performance of the decade and win the girl of his dreams?

The Wedding Singer features music by Matthew Sklar (Elf The Musical), lyrics by Chad Beguelin (Aladdin), and a book by Beguelin and Tim Herlihy. A long-time collaborator of Adam Sandler, Tim wrote the films Happy Gilmore and Billy Maddison, as well as several other Sandler-starring movies in addition to The Wedding Singer. An Australian cast and creative team will be announced in the new year. 

COVID Safe measures will be in place for all performances, as per government regulations. More information regarding COVID practices can be found on the website. 

More cities are yet to be announced. An open call for auditions will also be announced in the coming months via Facebook and Instagram.
