Save the date for THE WEDDING SINGER next April
It’s 1985. Hair is huge, greed is
good and rock-star wannabe Robbie Hart is New Jersey's favourite wedding
singer. When his own fiancée dumps him at the altar a seriously bummed out
Robbie makes every wedding as disastrous as his own.
Can
sweet natured Julia and her best friend Holly lure Robbie out of the dumpster
and back into the limelight? Or is he going to see her head off down the
aisle with Wall Street bad boy Glen?
A
sparkling new production of The Wedding Singer starring Jon
Robyns, Ray Quinn, Cassie Compton, Roxanne
Pallett and Ruth Madocwill make an appearance at the
King’s in Glasgow from Tuesday 18 April for five nights as part of major UK
