THE WEDDING SINGER
July 27 – August 5, 2012

The Covedale Center for the Performing Arts, 4990 Glenway Avenue announces the Cincinnati Young People’s Theatre’s 31st annual summer musical – THE WEDDING SINGER – running Friday, July 27 through Sunday, August 5, 2012!

In THE WEDDING SINGER, its 1985 and rock-star wannabe Robbie Hart is New Jersey’s favorite wedding singer. He’s the life of the party, until his own fiancee leaves him at the altar. Shot through the heart, Robbie makes every wedding as disastrous as his own. With a brand new score that pays loving homage to the pop songs of the 1980’s, THE WEDDING SINGER takes us back to a time when hair was big, greed was good, collars were up, and a wedding singer might just be the coolest guy in the room.

Tim Perrino, Director; Steve Goers, Music Director; Jennifer Martin, Choreographer; Nicola Burgun Production Stage Manager; Susan Stephenson, Asst. Stage Manager
