In THE WEDDING SINGER, it's 1985 and rock-star
wannabe Robbie Heart is New Jersey's favorite wedding singer. He's the life of the party, until his own fiance' leaves him at the altar. Shot through the heart, Robbie makes every wedding as disastrous as his own.
When he meets an admiring young waitress, it's love at first sight.
Only trouble is Julie is about to be married to a Wall Street shark, and unless Robbie can pull off the performance of a decade, the girl of his dreams will be gone forever. With a 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.
Nominated for five Tony Awards, THE WEDDING SINGER brings the sweet and funny Adam Sandler - Drew Barrymore movie to heartwarming life as a wonderful new Broadway musical.

Described by the New York Post as "fascinating, rewarding and above all, entertaining," and by the Los Angeles Times as "a showpiece extravaganza," LORD OF THE DANCE is a mesmerizing blend of traditional and modern Celtic music and dance.
The story is based upon mythical Irish folklore as Don Dorcha, Lord of Darkness, challenges the ethereal lord of light, the Lord of the Dance. Battle lines are drawn, passions ignite and a love story fueled by the dramatic leaps and turns of dancers' bodies begins to build against a backdrop of Celtic rhythm. The action is played out over 21 scenes on a grand scale of precision dancing, dramatic music, colorful costumes and state-of-the- art staging and lighting.
