MU Players Presents: The Wedding Singer

8 p.m.

MU Players present their annual student produced musical, featuring a celebration of student performers, producers, directors, choreographers and designers; this time on a virtual platform. Students will take four weeks to go through the entire production process, from casting, designing, directing, performing, recording, and editing to make this virtual production happen. Every aspect of the production will be run and produced by students. The final product will showcase how we are able to keep theatre and performance alive in a COVID-19 world. The production will be available to stream from Friday. April 16 to Monday, April 19.

The Wedding Singer takes us 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 fiancé 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.”  (source: MTIshows.com)
