THE WEDDING SINGER | FEBRUARY 24–MARCH 26, 2023

Book by Chad Beguelin and Tim Herlihy
Music by Matthew Sklar
Lyrics by Chad Beguelin
Based upon the New Line Cinema film written by Tim Herlihy
Directed by Jake Sung-Guk Sullivan

THE WEDDING SINGER centers around Robbie Hart, New Jersey’s number one wedding singer and the life of the party. That is until his own fiancée strands him at the altar. Shot through the heart, bitter and broken, Robbie begins to make every wedding as disastrous as his own until a warm-hearted waitress named Julia intervenes. When feelings become involved, trouble brews as Julia’s about to be–you guessed it–married! But her Wall Street shark of a fiancé may not be the happily ever after Julia’s always dreamed of… When she announces their plan to elope, Robbie must pull off the performance of the decade or risk losing the girl of his dreams forever.

Step back in time to when hair was big and the collars were up! Based on the Hollywood film starring Adam Sandler, THE WEDDING SINGER celebrates all the fun, love, and ridiculousness of the 80’s. With an electric soundtrack that gives nod to nostalgic hits, THE WEDDING SINGER will have you dancing down the aisle while eagerly saying “I DO!”

Mark Twain wrote: "There are five kinds of actresses: bad actresses, fair actresses, good actresses, great actresses–and then there is Sarah Bernhardt." It's 1899 in Paris, and legendary diva Sarah Bernhardt needs a crowd-pleaser to save her debt-ridden theatre company. So she decides to ditch the dresses and tackle her most ambitious role yet: Hamlet! The city watches to see whether this bold plan will be her legacy or folly.

Collide Theatrical Presents SKOL!

When a mysterious illness befalls a Viking clan, a young woman is called to fulfill her destiny as a great warrior leader in a battle for the cure with the Christian army. Inspired by the Norse gods, her journey tests the boundaries of her faith, shakes the ground of the relationships with the men dearest in her life, and causes her to question the definition of female strength. 

 

Inspired by recent evidence of the grave of a female Viking holding the accoutrements and injury marks of a prestigious warrior, the discovery cast a new light on gender roles in Scandinavian history. Collide tells the story through its signature blend of high-energy dance styles and explores this fascinating story with an original pop rock/rap score composed by Twin Cities musician Mike Michel (Bill Mike Band), with lyrics by vocalists Rush Benson (Ordway) and Katie Gearty (Dakota Jazz Club). 

 

Created by Collide Artistic Director, Regina Peluso, the production stars Renee Guittar and Jarod Boltjes.
