Robbie Hart |
Vocal Range: B (below middle C) - Bb (above stave) |
In love with the idea of LOVE. Robbie is New Jersey’s favourite wedding singer, the best in the business! But all that changes at his own wedding where he gets dumped at the alter. It’s the connection he finds with Julia that reinforces his beliefs in love.
Remarkable comic timing required for this role and an ability to play the guitar is possible.
Competent dance required.
|
Julia Sullivan |
Vocal Range: G (below middle C) - D (top of stave) |
Working at the reception centre, Julia is a sweet, innocent and naive waitress. Desperately hoping that, one day soon her boyfriend Glen will “POP” the question. But the question is; Is he really the ONE for her?
Dance ability required.
|
Glen Guglia |
Vocal Range: D (above middle C) - Bb (above stave) |
Engaged to Julia, but marriage is the least of his concerns. For Glen, life is all about making money and he doesn’t care how he gets it or what he has to sacrifice. He’s the Wall Street type, clean cut and respectable looking. He is very suave, sophisticated and a little pretentious (CD payers, Mobile phones Cars & Women.)
Must be able to move well.
|
Linda |
Vocal Range: A (below middle C) - D (top of stave) |
Robbie's trashy, oversexed girlfriend who leaves him at the alter, as she loves the old Robbie, before he became a Wedding Singer. She is the ultimate Rock chick!

Holly |
Vocal Range: A (below middle C) - E (top of stave) |
She is Julia’s cousin and together they waitress at the Reception Centre where the Wedding Singer performs. She is a free and uninhibited twenty-something, setting her sights on any single man.
Must be a confident dancer and comfortable with partner work (pas de deux).
|
Sammy |
Vocal Range: D (above middle C) - Gb (top of stave) |
Sammy plays bass in the Wedding Band and he is Robbie's best friend. He’s not terribly bright but he is very supportive and means well in all that he does. He is still in love with Holly after they broke up 6 months ago. Constantly trying to be cool and he loves the fashions of 1985.
Dance ability required

Flamboyant and eccentric, George is Robbie’s other best friend and fellow member of the band.

Brief Synopsis
It's the '80s. Robbie Hart lives in his grandmother's basement in New Jersey
and sings in a wedding band. His dreams of being a singer/songwriter are
long gone, replaced now by a burning desire to find the right girl and settle
down. When his fiancee leaves him standing at the altar, he becomes a
wedding planner's worst nightmare, taking out his bitterness on stage until his
eye and heart turn to a new friend, Julia, but she's engaged to a wealthy
Wall Street broker.
Enter Julia, a winsome waitress who wins his affection. Only trouble is, Julia is
about to get married to a Wall Street shark, and unless Robbie can pull off the
performance of the decade, the girl of his dreams will be gone forever. With a
brand-new score that plays loving homage to the pop songs of the 1980's,
“The Wedding Singer” takes us back to a time when hair was big, greed
was good, collars were up, and a wedding singer just might be the coolest guy
in the room.
The Music
The up-tempo pastiche score’s influences include Bryan Adams, Billy Joel,
Duran-Duran, Madonna, Michael Jackson, Bonnie Tyler, Phil Collins, Pat
Benatar, Depeche Mode, Thompson Twins, Boy George, Men At Work,
Spandau Ballet, Fresh Prince, Van Halen. Also included are two songs by
Adam Sandler from the film itself. Orchestrated for 12-piece band.
