The Wedding Singer Summer Show

Love is all around at the Gulbenkian this July 13th, 14th and 15th, and The Wedding Singer will have you laughing all the way down the aisle. This hit romantic comedy, based on the 1998 film starring Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore, is coming to the Gulbenkian Theatre for three nights only courtesy of the gifted and talented students of The Canterbury Academy and the Canterbury Institute for Performing Arts – who brought you last year’s sellout hit, Les Miserables.

The year is 1985, and in his home state of New Jersey, wannabe rock star Robbie Hart is everyone’s favourite wedding singer. He’s the life of the party, until he gets stood up at the altar. He turns into a total misery and vows to make every wedding as disastrous as his own. Things are looking bad for Robbie until he meets Julia Sullivan, a sweet waitress who wins his heart – but she’s already engaged to a Wall Street shark! This 80’s musical will make you laugh out loud as you watch Robbie’s life and his fight to win over his new heartthrob.

This highly acclaimed musical comedy has received five Tony Award nominations including “Best Musical,” eight Drama Desk Award nominations including “Outstanding Music” and three Drama League Award nominations including “Distinguished Production of a Musical.”
