“The Wedding Singer” takes stage at Mattie Kelly Arts Center

The Wedding Singer will bring back the 80's when it dances into the Mattie Kelly Arts Center! On Jan. 22, this musical comedy will take audiences back to a time when pastel was in, hair was big and the wedding singer was the coolest guy in the room!

Based on the hit film starring Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore, The Wedding Singer is crammed with 80's pop-culture and songs that have a familiar sound to Bon Jovi and Heart. Wannabe rock star Robbie Hart makes his living as New Jersey's favorite wedding singer until he is left at the altar. Broken-hearted, Robbie takes out his bitterness on stage at everyone's weddings. Every wedding he plays is a disaster until a charming waitress named Julia captures his affections.

The only trouble is, Julia is engaged to a successful Wall Street broker and unless Robbie can pull off the performance of his lifetime, the girl of his dreams will be gone forever. Can he win her heart before she says ''I Do'' or will it be too late?

The Broadway musical version opened in April of 2006, with music by Matthew Sklar, and book by Chad Beguelin and Tim Herlihy (former head-writer for ''Saturday Night Live'' and author of the original screenplay).

Don't miss this chance to see this good natured, high-energy musical.''

Show running time is two hours and 20 minutes, including a 20-minute intermission.
