Hey, Friends of Groton Regional Theatre? Did you know we have auditions coming up for the musical version of that popular Adam Sandler movie THE WEDDING SINGER? Were looking for actors of all ages. Auditions will be at the Groton Senior Center, March 17 and 18 from 7:00 to 9:00 PM both days. Here is a description of the story: Source: Wikipedia Robbie Hart, a Wedding singer, lives with his Grandma Rosie in Ridgefield, New Jersey. He and his band play a great wedding gig (It’s Your Wedding Day). During his usual warm-up-the-crowd routine, Robbie proudly announces that he will be married to his beloved fiancée Linda the next day. After the wedding gig that night, Robbie tries to write a sweet (eventually corny) love song to Linda, with help from his waitress friend, Julia Sullivan, whom he had just met during the previous wedding (Awesome). The following day, however, Linda dumps Robbie at the altar, with only a note claiming that she wants to be the wife of a rock star and not just a wedding singer (A Note from Linda). Meanwhile, an anxious Julia goes out to dinner with her Wall Street banker boyfriend, Glen Guglia, hoping he will pop the question, which he does (Pop!). Robbie falls into a deep depression (Somebody Kill Me Please), but is urged by his bandmates Sammy and George, and even his grandmother (A Note from Grandma), to use that intense emotion to get back on his feet. However, the angry Robbie does nothing but enrage the guests at the next wedding gig (Casualty of Love), and he is soon thrown into the dumpster by the bridal party. With some convincing from his friend Julia, Robbie does Come Out of the Dumpster, but changes his singing gigs strictly to bar mitzvahs (Today You Are a Man). After the Shapiro bar mitzvah (George’s Prayer), Julia convinces Robbie to help her register for her wedding, as her fiancé Glen is, as usual, busy with business-related affairs (Not That Kind of Thing). While at the mall, Robbie and Julia meet up with Julias cousin and best friend Holly, who convinces the faux duo that Julia needs to practice her wedding kiss. Robbie and Julia awkwardly–and lovingly– kiss, only to be interrupted by the reality that Julia is marrying Glen. After seeing the kiss, Holly decides that she should go out with Robbie. Julia, still shocked by the kiss, hastily agrees with Holly. Much later that night, Robbie, Holly, Julia, Glen, Sammy, and George go to a club in New York City (Saturday Night in the City). Here Robbie finally realizes that Glen is a cheater and that he, Robbie, loves Julia. Holly realizes this too and tells Robbie that Julia is marrying Glen because of his money and security. Upon hearing this, Robbie exclaims, Maybe I could change! Act 2 The next morning, Robbie visits Glen at his Wall Street office to get a job and learn how to be like him in order to secretly impress Julia (All About the Green). Later, Julia and Holly recall the events of the night before and Julia begins to question if rich men are truly better people (Someday(Reprise)). Sammy arrives and tries to woo Holly, but is given the cold shoulder, but Holly cant help but feel that despite his flaws, there is no other man who could replace Sammy (Right in front of your Eyes).Later in the evening, a Glenified Robbie finds Julia at his doorstep and tries to woo her. When that doesn’t work, he accuses her of marrying Glen for his material possessions. Julia is stung and walks away from Robbie, throwing a present in his face: personalized blank sheet music. After all, Julia truly cares about Robbie and wants him to sing at weddings again, especially her wedding. Robbie realizes what hes done and drinks his sorrows away at a local bar (All About the Green (Reprise)). Sammy and George go to the bar and try to convince Robbie that staying Single is the right thing to do. Inadvertently, Sammy and George end up persuading Robbie into going to Julias house to tell her how he really feels. Meanwhile, at Julias house, Julia is with her mother trying on her wedding dress, but is having doubts about marrying Glen because of recent events with her and Robbie. Julias mother reassures her that Glen really is Mr Right and questions why Julia would leave him for a wedding singer. But Julia still has doubts. Robbie looks into Julias window and sees her trying on her wedding dress and smiling at her reflection. He thinks its because shes marrying Glen, but Julia is smiling only because shes imagining being Mrs. Robbie Hart (If I Told You). Robbie goes home drunk and dazed only to find Linda in his bed, wanting him back (Let Me Come Home). Before she can fully apologize Robbie falls into a deep slumber. The next day Julia goes to Robbies house to tell him how she really feels, only to find Linda instead. This scares Julia into eloping with Glen to Las Vegas. Meanwhile, Robbie wakes up and promptly kicks Linda (the psycho) out. At his Grandma Rosies 50th anniversary party, Robbie finds out from Holly what happened to Julia. Only then do Robbie and Julia realize that they may never see each other again, and they may never get to tell each other what’s on their minds (If I Told You (Reprise)). With urging from his grandmother and Sammy, Robbie goes to the airport and gets on the next plane to Vegas (Move That Thang). With the help of a group of Vegas impersonators (Billy Idol, Ronald Reagan, Tina Turner, Mr. T and many others), Robbie crashes Julias and Glens wedding at the Little White House Chapel and sings his new song to Julia (Grow Old With You). Glen is outraged that Robbie and Julia still have feelings for each other and blurts out that he cheated on Julia with hundreds of women. Upon hearing this, the impersonators beat Glen up, and Robbie proposes to Julia. She says yes, on one condition: Will you sing at my wedding? The answer is a resounding Yes! Later, Mr. and Mrs. Robbie Hart are wed (It’s Your Wedding Day (Finale)). Come on out for the auditions -- this will be a fabulous show and fun, fun, fun!
