WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
The Wedding Singer is based upon the New Line Cinema film. Music is by Matthew Sklar, book by Tim Herlihy and Chad Beguelin, and lyrics by Chad Beguelin. It's the 80's. 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.

If there can be summer movies, why can't there be summer musicals? The Wedding Singer sure is one. It's a nice, lightweight show that's going to bring a great deal of pleasure to a great number of people, especially couples who are dating and are either contemplating or planning marriage.
The music is tasty bubble gum but, like that sticky substance, it loses it flavor as the night wears on. Composer Matthew Sklar may have been hamstrung by the show's 1980's setting; given that decade's music, how good could a pastiche score be? It seem that the authors of Hairspray were more in love with 1960s music than Sklar and lyricist Beguelin are with the songs of the '80s; The Wedding Singer has a f[...]
