Lyrics by Chad Beguelin
Based on the New Line Cinema film written by Tim Herlihy
The year is 1985. The place is New
Jersey. A wannabe rock star (aka professional wedding singer) is left at the
altar and finally changes his tune.
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 sparking new score does for the ‘80s what Hairspray did for
the ‘60s
Its 1985,
and rock star wannabe, Robbie Hart, is New Jersey’s favorite wedding singer.
He’s the life of the party until his own fiancée 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.
