The cast of the 2017 UK and Ireland tour of The Wedding Singer are set to take to the Hippodrome stage in London for an exclusive concert – An Audience With the Cast of The Wedding Singer – on Tuesday 10 January at 8pm.
The company will give audiences a sneak peek of the forthcoming tour, with a selection of songs from The Wedding Singer alongside some of their favourite musical theatre hits and 1980s classics.
With an all-star line-up featuring the cast of show; Jon Robyns (Avenue Q, Les Misérables, Sister Act); Cassie Compton (Les Misérables, 27, Wicked); Ray Quinn (X Factor, Dancing On Ice, Grease); Roxanne Pallett (Emmerdale, Waterloo Road, The Rocky Horror Show); Ruth Madoc (Hi-De-Hi, Little Britain, Benidorm); the evening will be hosted by Samuel Holmes (Mrs Henderson Presents, Spamalot, Half a Sixpence).
The new production will tour the UK in 2017, opening on Monday 6 February at Leicester Curve. Jon Robyns, Ray Quinn, Cassie Compton, Roxanne Pallett and Ruth Madoc will star in the musical based on the hit film.
It’s 1985. Hair is huge, greed is good and rock-star wannabe Robbie Hart is New Jersey’s favourite wedding singer. When his own fiancée dumps him at the altar, a seriously bummed out Robbie makes every wedding as disastrous as his own.
Can sweet natured Julia and her best friend Holly lure Robbie out of the dumpster and back into the limelight? Or is he going to see her head off down the aisle with Wall Street bad boy Glen. Only Grandma Rosie seems to be able to see that Robbie and Julia are the couple that are meant to be.
