​

Set your Swatch, tease the hair, and meet us in Ridgefield, New Jersey — 1985. A wedding singer who guarantees love for a living gets left at the altar, and takes it roughly as well as the public took New Coke. Big laughs, big hair, and a heart the size of a boom box.

 

ROBBIE HART — Male, 25 to 35 · B3 to C6
The lead singer of a band. Handsome and charismatic. A truly "nice" guy that has the classic lead singer aura and personality. Also a bit of a dreamer. In love with love until Linda leaves him at the altar and breaks his heart.
 

JULIA SULLIVAN — Female, 25 to 35 · G3 to F5
Waitress. The pretty "girl next door" in looks and personality. Engaged to Glen but falls in love with Robbie and is conflicted as to who to choose. Empathetic, caring, and brave.
 

SAMMY — Male, 25 to 35 · C4 to A5
The bass player in the wedding band and one of Robbie's best friends. A total guy's guy, but beneath his pretending to love being a bachelor he is actually in love with Holly.
 

GEORGE — Male, 25 to 35 · C4 to A5
The wedding band's keyboardist and one of Robbie's best friends. He is sensitive and somewhat flamboyant. The foil to Sammy's super guy attitude.  Think Boy George.
 

HOLLY — Female, 25 to 35 · A3 to E5
Julia's cousin. Sexually promiscuous and always up for a good time, but wants to be loved and is looking for romantic fulfillment in all the wrong places. She is in love with Sammy.
 

GLEN GUGLIA — Male, 30 to 45 · D4 to B5
Julia's fiancé. A Wall Street broker. He is rich, shallow, and materialistic. Constantly tries to buy Julia's love with money. He is a bit of a womanizer.
 

ROSIE — Female, 65+ · C4 to C5
Robbie's grandmother who raised him. Motherly but adventurous and always trying to remain "hip" despite her age.
 

LINDA — Female, 20 to 30 · A3 to D5
Robbie's fiancé who leaves him at the altar. Keeps Robbie around as a back-up plan. Is more in love with the idea of Robbie being a rock star than she actually is with Robbie.
 

ANGIE — Female, 45 to 60
Julia's mother. Thinks Glen is a keeper. 

 

Bass and keyboard players especially welcome — but playing an instrument is not required. 

​

ENSEMBLE — roughly 12, age 18+ welcome

Couples (Harold & Debbie, Shane & Donatella, Crystal & Mookie); Wedding Guests; Stockbrokers; Impersonators.
Here's the good part — almost nobody is just chorus. Jersey club kids, New Yorkers, Wall Street sharks, casualties of love, and seven celebrity impersonators in Las Vegas, including an officiant with a very familiar head of hair and a dish of complimentary jellybeans.

​
