Four Weekend Performances

•November 4, 2015•

Sullivan High School is presenting “The Wedding Singer” starting Friday, Nov. 6 at the Little Theatre On The Square.

This production by the Sullivan Singers is a first for show choir director Jeff Thomas this season and promises to be a good time for audiences.

The musical was created following the popularity of “The Wedding Singer” movie starring Adam Sandler.

“It’s a comedy that pokes fun at the 80s era, with all the glitter and big hair of the time,” Thomas said of the story of a guy performing as a wedding singer during the 80s glam rock era.

“There are some great 80s rock songs and some iconic characters like Hulk Hogan and Cindy Lauper blending into a really funny show.”

Thomas explained the musical is a lot of fun for audiences.

“For high schoolers it is important to keep it light,” he said of the musical. “Everyone likes a good laugh, and it is very entertaining.”

All the 51 Sullivan Singers and stage crew are involved in the production with the Sullivan Singers combo providing musical back up.

Thomas noted that the Little Theatre is building the sets and providing sound and lighting for the performances.

It is an ambitious production that began only five weeks ago. He explained that some characters have as many as 200 lines, and the lead has six to seven songs to learn in less than a month.     Login or Subscribe to read the rest of this story.
