Get ready to party like it's 1985.
Tony-nominated Broadway musical 'The Wedding Singer' is amping up preparations as it nears its Sydney season at the State Theatre in early January, with final release tickets now on offer.
With the show also set to premiere in Perth from late February as well as return to Melbourne for an encore season – this time at a larger venue – the appetite for this production is proving insatiable.
Although the various lockdowns have delayed the performances, the extra time has allowed rising main-stage and event producer David Venn and his team to tinker with an array of new costumes and neon set pieces adding to an already wow-worthy production.
"It's amazing to see such a strong appetite for the show continue without wavering," David says.
"Sydney and Perth audiences are so excited to finally have the show premiere in their cities, while Melbourne just can't seem to get enough, prompting the release of new performance dates at a much bigger theatre.
"It's a thrilling time, and we're all very grateful."
Sydney local Christian Charisiou ('The Last Five Years', 'Cry-Baby') stars in his breakout title role as jilted-groom and nice guy Robbie Hart, that has seen critics depict him as 'even funnier than Adam Sandler'.
While Melbourne girl Teagan Wouters ('Kinky Boots The Musical') shines in the role made famous by Drew Barrymore, Julia Sullivan.
There'll also be real-life sparks flying between cast mates when Nadia Komazec ('School Of Rock', 'Matilda') as the fabulously fun Holly, alongside her love-hate interest Haydan Hawkins ('Miss Saigon', 'Into The Woods') as Sammy return to the stage.
They recently were engaged after first meeting each other on this production. "What better way to celebrate [our engagement] than going back on tour with the show that brought us together in the first place," Nadia says.
