The Charleston Light Opera Guild will present The Wedding Singer on August 1-3 and 8-10, 2025 at the Charleston Coliseum Theater.

THE WEDDING SINGER has a book by Chad Beguelin and Tim Herlihy and music by Matthew Sklar and lyrics by Chad Beguelin. Return 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. The year is 1985. The place is New Jersey. A wannabe rock star, Robbie Hart, is New Jersey’s favorite wedding singer. He’s the life of the party until his own fiancée leaves him at the altar. Shot through the heart, he makes every wedding as disastrous as his own. Enter Julia, a winsome waitress who wins his affection. Julia is also about to be married to a Wall Street shark, and Robbie must pull off the performance of his life not to lose the girl of his dreams. The musical is high energy with great roles and includes tribute characters who impersonate Billy Idol, Cyndi Lauper, Mr. T, Ronald Reagan, Tina Turner, Imelda Marcus, Nancy Reagan and music video songs like Thriller, Material Girl, and Flashdance. The Broadway production opened in 1985 and received numerous Tony-award nominations. The Guild previously presented the show in 2014.
