Let’s head back to 1985 where rock-star wannabe Robbie Hart is New Jersey’s most sought after wedding singer, he really is the life and soul of the party. However, when his heart is ripped apart and his own wedding plans don’t go as planned, Robbie affected by his heartbreak suddenly becomes the worst wedding singer you can imagine. Enter Julia, a waitress at the wedding venue where he performs. But there’s just one problem, she is already engaged to a shallow Wall Street broker. Despite their feelings, a misfortunate series of events lead them in opposite directions. When Julia then elopes to Las Vegas Robbie decides to play the gig of his life to try and win her heart. You would be Barking MAD to miss this!!


This production is presented by Barking Music and Drama.


Signed performance on Friday 14 June 7.30pm.
