'The Wedding Singer' Musical Comes to Milledgeville | Community Spirit

 

Georgia College actors will present the live stage version of the musical The Wedding Singer with amazing dances and songs, courtesy of the Georgia College Department of Theatre. Guests are invited to attend this rousing musical originally starring Adam Sandler in the film version. Show times are 8 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 22, through Saturday, Feb. 25 and 2 p.m. Sunday, Feb.  26 in Russell Auditorium.

With 42 speaking roles and over hundred costumes, this musical will prove to be the splashiest spectacle the department has ever presented!

Senior theatre major Jordan Hale portrays the lead role of Robbie in this 1980s inspired world where rock star-wannabe Robbie Hart is New Jersey's favorite wedding singer. You may remember Jordan from the musical RENT directed by the same director Dr. Amy Pinney. Dr. Pinney says "This will be a show to top all shows and is not to be missed!!! Freshman Kayla Carson who plays Julia has a voice that will someday move to Broadway!"

An amazing ensemble of dancers are working with choreographer Julie Mulvihill. Dr. Wendy Mullen conducts a wedding band that will be always visible onstage.  

Director and Chair of the Department of Theatre Karen Berman "is thrilled that we are presenting our biggest musical ever!"

Music is by Matthew Sklar with Lyrics by Chad Beguelin. The book by Chad Beguelin and Tim Herlihy and is based on the New Line Cinema Film written by Tim Herlihy.
