Broadway musical, The Wedding Singer, is set to make its Australian premiere.
It’s 1985. Hair is huge, collars are up and a wedding singer might just be the coolest guy in the room. By the writer of the original smash-hit movie starring Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore, The Wedding Singer achieved a Tony Award nomination for Best Musical and has toured internationally to great acclaim.
The company is casting a wide net to find their Australian Wedding Singer. Real life wedding singers with a comedic flair are invited to submit for the title role, played by Adam Sandler in the movie. Submission details can be found on weddingsingermusical.com.au, with submissions from all regions, including remote areas, encouraged to apply.
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, Herlihy wrote the classic hit films Happy Gilmore and Billy Maddison, as well as several other Sandler-starring blockbusters in addition to The Wedding Singer.
An Australian creative team is still to be announced.
Fingers crossed there’s an Adelaide date or two planned!
