The Wedding Singer

May 2, 2025 — May 18, 2025

Civic Auditorium

Robbie is a goofy New Jersey singer who failed as a rock star, then in love.  He now fronts the most in-demand wedding band until his own wedding plans go awry and he is left standing at the altar.  Join us as we root for Robbie to find love and to provide once again awesome 1980s music to weddings across New Jersey.
