The Wedding Singer

ACT 1

Ridgefield, New Jersey – 1985. Robbie Hart, wedding singer extraordinaire, is in high demand. Not only do Robbie and his band members, Sammy and George, cover all of the hits, Robbie has a special knack for making everyone in attendance feel welcome and special… and for keeping the party going when emotions run high or family members get out of hand (“It’s Your Wedding Day”). A rocking wedding reception comes to life as Robbie finesses the audience, but the stars align when he meets Julia Sullivan, who is catering with her cousin, Holly. It’s Julia’s anniversary with her boyfriend, Glen, and she hopes he will surprise her with something nice. Holly wonders if Glen is going to “pop the question.” Julia stares at the bride, wondering when it will be her turn (“Someday / Someday Playoff”). She catches the bouquet.

Sammy wants the band to be a big success, but Robbie is tied to helping people enjoy the most important night of their lives and refuses to break a gig for the Schwartz wedding to play at the “Battle of the Bands” in Paramus, New Jersey. Robbie’s also busy writing a song for his own wedding, which is right around the corner. Julia thinks that Robbie is sweet for writing his fiancée, Linda, a song, but Robbie insists that he is the lucky one. Julia asks to hear what he’s written so far and gives him helpful advice on the lyrics (“Awesome”). Julia invites Robbie to sing at her wedding… if she ever has one. Glen calls Julia from his car phone and breaks their date. He promises to make it up to her.

It’s Linda and Robbie’s wedding day, and his grandmother, Rosie, unveils her surprise: a coin-operated, queen-size bed for his basement apartment. His grandmother tries to tell him about the birds and bees, but Robbie assures her that he knows the basics. He hopes that he and Linda will be as happy as his grandparents have been (“Someday – Robbie’s Reprise”).

At the church, Robbie takes his place at the altar. The Priest is worried that Linda is so late. Sammy gives Robbie a note from Linda: she’s not coming. She just can’t see herself married to a wedding singer (“A Note from Linda”). Sammy tells the guests that the wedding is off as George breaks down in tears and Robbie runs off (“It’s Your Wedding Day – Reprise”). In the bathroom, Holly and Julia try to think of a way to cheer up Robbie. Julia’s mom, Angie, comes in and she and Holly give Julia advice on how to make sure Glen pops the question (“Pop!”) At the restaurant, Glen brags to Julia about his job in junk bonds. Around them, one happy couple after another gets engaged as Julia looks on. Finally, Glen asks Julia… and she accepts.

Alone in his basement apartment, Robbie sings to the tiny bride from the wedding cake (“Somebody Kill Me”). Sammy and George arrive to try to cheer him up, but it’s no use; he’s completely depressed. Sammy gives Robbie a note from his grandma that tells him not to worry – Linda was trash anyway (“A Note from Grandma”). The boys encourage Robbie not to give up and remind him that they have a gig to play that night.

Robbie tries his best to give a good performance, but he sinks into a depression by the end of the first verse. His surly comments crash the party (“Pre-Casualty – Wedding Day”). Julia pulls Robbie offstage and tries to help him put things into perspective, but Robbie can’t be stopped. Other unloved wedding guests join in (“Casualty of Love”). The bride punches Robbie in the face, and the party dissolves into a brawl.

Robbie is tossed out into the garbage dumpsters by the groom. Julia comes out to talk to him. Things are going well until Robbie finds out that Julia is newly engaged. Still, she asks him to sing at her wedding (“Come out of the Dumpster”). Julia gets him to pick himself up, but Robbie swears off singing at any more weddings

Robbie, Sammy and George are playing Jared Shapiro’s bar mitzvah. George gives a special blessing in Hebrew (“George’s Prayer”). Afterwards, Julia asks Robbie to help her pick out things for her registry because Glen has clients in town and can’t make it. She confesses that she doesn’t know why Glen is interested in her. Holly and Sammy briefly reconnect on the dance floor, remembering when they used to date.

At the mall, Julia and Robbie argue over china patterns. The clerk mistakes them for a couple and tells them not to worry about getting pre-wedding jitters. At first, they deny they’re together, but eventually they play along (“Not That Kind of Thing”). Robbie and Julia meet up with Holly and head to the bridal salon. After Julia selects her wedding dress, Holly makes Julia practice her wedding kiss on Robbie. As they kiss, a feeling of true connection overtakes them. Holly starts to think of Robbie as a potential catch. Glen arrives with a CD player for Julia and ruins things by seeing her wedding dress before the big day. Robbie makes a quick escape and, while Glen is making a deal on the phone, Holly confesses that she’s going to ask Robbie out.

Holly, Julia, Glen, George, Sammy and Robbie prepare for a hot night on the town in New York City (“Saturday Night in the City”). Holly is focused on Robbie, trying to get him to like her. Slightly jealous, Julia pounds back the drinks. Behind Julia’s back, Glen checks out other girls and tells Robbie that he plans to keep sleeping around after he’s married. Sammy is jealous that Holly is paying attention to Robbie instead of him, and Holly realizes that Robbie has a thing for Julia. The evening falls apart as Robbie runs after Julia just in time to see her zip off in Glen’s fancy car.

ACT 2

Robby has a horrible dream, where Holly tells him that all women care about it money and security. He wakes up in a panic and decides to ask Glen to help him get a real job. Glen starts him out in the mailroom. (“All about the Green”) Holly is cleaning up after a banquet when Julia enters, recovering from a hangover. Julia asks if anything happened with Robbie, and Holly confesses that she kissed him but didn’t feel anything. She tells Julia that she thinks Robbie is a little jealous of Glen’s success. Julia thinks Glen was nicer when he had less money (“Someday – Julia’s Reprise”). Sammy enters to drop off some decorations for Julia’s bachelorette party. Before he leaves, Sammy tells Holly that, if she is not careful, she will lose her chance with him. Holly wonders if he might be right (“Right in Front of Your Eyes”).

Julia drops by Robbie’s grandmother’s house with some blank sheet music for Robbie, but Rosie tells her that Robbie went down to Wall Street to get a real job. Julia can’t believe that Robbie would give up his music and is furious that he’s gone to work for Glen. Robbie arrives and tries to impress Julia with his new outlook on life. He accuses Julia of being into material things and says that she’s marrying Glen for his money. She throws the sheet music at Robbie and storms off. When he picks it up, he sees that Julia has had them monogrammed. Robbie realizes that he has made a huge mistake. He goes to a bar to drown his sorrows (“All about the Green – Reprise”).

Sammy and George find Robbie in the bar. Robbie confesses that he’s in love with Julia, but that he’s done with love – he’s just going to get a new woman every night. Sammy acts like he agrees and champions the single life (“Single”). Instead of convincing Robbie to live alone for the rest of his life, Robbie realizes that he has to tell Julia how he feels.

Julia asks Angie if she really likes Glen. Angie assures her that Glen’s got it all – money, looks, charm – but Julia isn’t sure that she is in love with him anymore. She admits that she’s been spending a lot of time with Robbie. Angie can’t believe that her daughter would throw Glen over for a wedding singer. Julia, in her wedding dress, stares in the mirror, trying to imagine herself as Mrs. Glen Guglia… Julia Guglia… but it isn’t working. She imagines herself as Mrs. Robbie Hart and smiles. Sammy, George and Robbie watch from outside. Robbie thinks that she’s dreaming about Glen. Julia and Robbie imagine what they would say to each other if they could (“If I Told You”). Glen drives by with some friends and strippers on the way to his bachelor party. Glen pulls over to invite Robbie, and Robbie tells him to stop cheating on Julia. Glen punches him in the face and fires him.

Robbie wakes up to find Linda in his bed. He tells her to get lost, but she refuses. Linda wants to come back to where it’s easy and safe (“Let Me Come Home”). Robbie passes out on the bed before he can kick Linda out. Holly drags Julia to Robbie’s house so that she can tell him how she feels, but Linda surprises them by opening the door. Linda says that she’s Robbie’s fiancée again, and Julia leaves. Robbie wakes up and is surprised to see Linda there. He kicks Linda out for good.

Robbie arrives late to his grandparents’ anniversary party just as George finishes playing them a little riff on his guitar for their present (“50 Years”). Robbie apologizes for his recent behavior. Holly asks if he is back with Linda and tells him that Julia was so upset when she found Linda at Robbie’s place that she jumped on a plane to Vegas with Glen to elope. Robbie wonders if it’s too late. Julia appears in an airplane window, wondering if she’s making the right decision (“Not That Kind / If I Told You – Reprise”). Robbie is struck with an idea for a new song for Julia. His friends and family encourage him to go after her as his grandmother takes over the party with a hip hop rap (“Move That Thing”).

At the airport, Robbie uses Sammy’s credit card to pay for a flight to Las Vegas. Holly is impressed by Sammy’s wallet full of credit cards and jumps into his arms. In Vegas, Billy Idol, Mr. T and Ronald Reagan impersonators help Robbie find Julia and Glen.

At the chapel, Julia looks out of sorts. Glen tries to cheer her up, assuring her that they can play blackjack afterwards. Robbie and the impersonators sneak in and, as the fake Ronald Reagan begins to marry Glen and Julia, Robbie steps in to sing his new song – a song about how he wants to spend the rest of his life with Julia (“Grow Old with You”). Glen is furious. To hurt her, Glen tells Julia that he has cheated on her a hundred times. A Tina Turner impersonator punches Glen in the face and drags him out. Robbie asks Julia to marry him. She says yes… as long as Robbie agrees to sing at the wedding.

Robbie and Julia’s wedding reception is in full swing. The impersonators from Vegas entertain the crowd as Sammy and George sing. Julia and Robbie have found true love at last (“Act II Finale”)!

The Wizard of Oz, Youth Edition

Dorothy Gale, a young girl living on a Kansas farm with her Aunt Em and Uncle Henry, dreams of escaping her mundane life (“Over the Rainbow”). The family’s mean neighbor, Miss Gulch, threatens to impound Dorothy’s cherished dog, Toto, so Dorothy and Toto run away. They meet up with kindly Professor Marvel, who subtly convinces Dorothy to return home. Suddenly a cyclone hits, and Dorothy and Toto, seeking shelter in the house, are transported to the Land of Oz.

In Oz, Dorothy meets Glinda, the Good Witch of the North. Apparently, Dorothy’s house has landed upon – and fatally stricken – the Wicked Witch of the East. The Munchkins, now freed from the Wicked Witch of the East, celebrate and hail Dorothy as their new heroine (“Ding Dong! The Witch Is Dead/Munchkin Musical Sequence”). The celebration is interrupted as the Wicked Witch of the West suddenly appears, seeking vengeance. Unable to reclaim her sister’s shoes, which are now on Dorothy’s feet, the Witch vows to return and quickly vanishes. Dorothy, seeking a way back home to Kansas, sets off to see the Wizard of Oz (“Follow the Yellow Brick Road”).

Along the way, Dorothy meets three new friends, each of whom lacks a crucial characteristic: The Scarecrow (“If I Only Had a Brain”) The Tinman (“If I Only Had a Heart”) and the Lion (“If I Only Had the Nerve”). Together, the four new companions make their way towards Oz (“We’re Off to See the Wizard”). The Witch attempts to sedate the travelers with a poisonous field of poppies, but Glinda reverses the spell with healing snowflakes (“Poppies/Optimistic Voices”).

The travelers, arriving at the Emerald City, are delayed by a stubborn Gatekeeper, but Dorothy’s tears convince him to relent and let them in (“Merry Old Land of Oz”). As the group awaits its audience with the Wizard, the Lion boasts he is “King of the Forest.” Finally, they meet the imposing and irritable Wizard, who demands the broomstick of the Wicked Witch of the West.

The four friends travel deep into the haunted forest. Suddenly, they encounter jitterbugs, who make them dance until they collapse from exhaustion (“The Jitterbug”). The Wicked Witch’s flying monkeys swoop down, capturing Dorothy and Toto. At the castle, the Witch vows to take Dorothy’s life. Meanwhile, the Lion, Scarecrow and Tinman infiltrate the castle disguised as Winkie guards. The foursome and Toto are reunited, but the Wicked Witch interferes, threatening the Scarecrow with fire. Dorothy, dousing the flames with a bucket of water, accidentally strikes the Witch, who smolders and melts into nothing (“Ding Dong! The Witch Is Dead” Reprise). The four friends, triumphant, take the Witch’s broom back to the Wizard.

The Wizard remains imperious and imposing, but Toto pulls aside a curtain to reveal a meek and ordinary man speaking into a microphone. The Wizard, revealed to be a “humbug,” nonetheless grants each traveler’s request, giving the Scarecrow, the Tinman and the Lion each a token of his newly acquired ability. The Wizard offers to take Dorothy back to Kansas in his hot-air balloon, but the balloon accidentally takes off, and Dorothy is left alone and crestfallen. Glinda appears and explains that Dorothy has always had the power to return home. All she has to do is close her eyes, tap her heels together three times, and repeat to herself, “There’s no place like home.”

Back in Kansas, Dorothy awakens, confused, with a bump on her head. Reunited with all her loved ones, and relieved to learn the storm has left Miss Gulch incapacitated by a broken leg, Dorothy shares the tale of her miraculous journey, celebrating the joy and healing power of home.

Aladdin Kids

A Lamp Vendor appears in a marketplace conjured by Djinn, theatrical “spirits of the lamp.” A group of Agrabahns help him introduce the city of Agrabah (“Arabian Nights – Part 1”) and the story of a dusty old lamp that changed a young man’s life:

Jasmine, Princess of Agrabah, argues with the Sultan over the ancient law requiring that she marry a prince immediately. Jafar, the scheming Royal Vizier, and Iago, his parrot sidekick, welcome Prince Abdullah, Prince Hassim, and Prince Malik, who are interested in Jasmine’s hand in marriage. Jasmine sends them away, and Jafar reminds her that if she doesn’t choose a husband, she will have to marry him.

Jafar, eager to claim the throne, goes to the Cave of Wonders to seek the magic lamp (“Arabian Nights – Part 2”). But the Cave Guardian denies him; only Aladdin, the Diamond in the Rough, may enter.

Meanwhile, in the marketplace, Aladdin weaves through vendors, Beggars, and other citizens of Agrabah trying to avoid getting caught for stealing a loaf of bread (“One Jump Ahead”). He bumps into Jasmine in disguise, who has run away from the palace. They are both caught by the Guards (“One Jump Ahead – Reprise”), and Aladdin is thrown into a Skeleton-filled dungeon (“Dungeon Ditty”).

Jafar tricks Aladdin into entering the cave to retrieve the lamp, but Aladdin gets trapped inside. When he rubs the lamp, a magical Genie appears with his magic carpet, Avis (“Friend Like Me”). Genie explains that Aladdin can make three wishes. For his first two, Aladdin wishes to get out of the cave and to become a prince so he can see Jasmine again.

Aladdin — as Prince Ali — and his entourage make a grand entrance at the palace (“Prince Ali”). Jasmine remains unimpressed, so Aladdin decides to be himself and speak from the heart while taking her on a magic carpet ride (“A Whole New World”).

However, Jafar and Iago deviously steal the magic lamp and Jafar becomes Genie’s new boss. With his first two wishes, he becomes Sultan of Agrabah and a powerful sorcerer. Jafar also reveals that Prince Ali has merely been Aladdin in disguise (“Prince Ali – Reprise 1”) and orders his arrest (“Prince Ali – Reprise 2”). Before getting captured, Aladdin tricks Jafar into wishing to become a genie. In a flash, Jafar ends up trapped inside his own magic lamp (“Jafar’s Demise”).

For his final wish, Aladdin frees Genie. Jasmine remains hopeful that she and Aladdin can change the world together; the Sultan then alters the law so that she can marry whomever she wants and so that she herself will one day she will become ruler of Agrabah! All rejoice (“Finale & Bows”)!

Alice in Wonderland Jr.

The Wonderland Ensemble appears, bringing a whimsical world to life around the curious, imaginative Alice (“Opening: Alice’s Theme”). Alice’s older sister Mathilda and her Friends barge in, shattering the world of Wonderland and mocking Alice for living in a childish, make-believe world. After they go, Alice dreams of a place of wonder and adventure where she can be her truest self (“In a World of My Own”).

As Alice falls asleep, the world of Wonderland comes to life around her and Cheshire Cats 1-3 appear to guide Alice on her journey. At the beckoning of the Cheshire Cat, the White Rabbit rushes by, lamenting that he is behind schedule (“I’m Late”). Alice follows him to the edge of his rabbit hole and jumps in as the inhabitants of Wonderland fall past her, offering advice (“Very Good Advice”).

Alice lands in front of a very small door. The Doorknob suggests that Alice eat and drink magical items to change her size. During her growing and shrinking, she cries an ocean of tears and is able to swim through the door’s keyhole into Wonderland. A boat rows past carrying a Dodo Bird and a bunch of Wonderland creatures (“Ocean of Tears / Smallification 2”). Once they all wash ashore, the Dodo Bird initiates a race so that everyone can dry off (“The Caucus Race”).

The White Rabbit runs by again (“I’m Late – Reprise”), and Alice tries to follow him but runs into Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum. The Tweedles explain how to properly greet someone (“How D’Ye Do and Shake Hands”) but end up confusing everyone in the process.

Alice sneaks away to find the White Rabbit at his home, and, after eating a magical cookie, she grows so large she ends up wearing his house as a dress. After shrinking in size once more, Alice comes upon Rose, Lily, Petunia, Daisy, and Violet, the Flowers of the Golden Afternoon. Alice longs to join their club, but the Flowers cruelly turn her away (“The Golden Afternoon”). An energetic Caterpillar comes upon a very sad Alice and encourages her to continue her quest despite all the unknowns ahead (“Adventure Is a Wonderful Thing”).

Afterwards, Alice finally comes face to face with the magical Cheshire Cat, who sends her off to a tea party. When Alice arrives, the Mad Hatter, March Hare, and Party Guests are celebrating their unbirthdays (“The Unbirthday Song”). The White Rabbit runs by, still late (“I’m Late – Reprise 2”), and the Mad Hatter and March Hare try to fix his watch with disastrous results.

Alice follows the White Rabbit into the Royal Rose Garden and runs into a strange sight: the Royal Cards are painting the roses red (“Painting the Roses Red”). The Queen of Hearts and King of Hearts appear, and the Queen chastises the Royal Cards (“Painting the Roses Red – Reprise”). When the Queen of Hearts notices Alice, she challenges her to a game of Simon Says (“Simon Says – Parts 1 & 2”).

Alice, much to everyone’s surprise, beats the Queen at her own game. The King proposes a trial for Alice as an alternative to an immediate beheading. Witnesses condemn Alice, including the Mad Hatter and March Hare, who make sure to wish the Queen a happy unbirthday (“The Unbirthday Song – Reprise”).

At the last minute, the Caterpillar appears, asking Alice to dig deep and think hard about who she really is. Alice, pondering the question, finally realizes that just being herself is more than enough. Suddenly, Wonderland disappears and Alice is back at home, waking from a nap. As Alice excitedly relays her moment of self-discovery to Mathilda, she discovers the White Rabbit’s watch in her pocket. Alice, Mathilda, and the Wonderland Ensemble rejoice in the freedom to be their true selves, in a fantastical Wonderland of their own making (“Finale”).

Beetlejuice Jr.

The show begins with music from offstage (“Prologue: Invisible”). In a graveyard, a Priest and Mourners attend the funeral of Emily Deetz, wife of Charles and mother of Lydia.

The crowd parts to reveal Beetlejuice (“The Whole “Being Dead” Thing”), who has a plan to bring himself back to life involving Adam and Barbara Maitland (“Ready, Set, Not Yet”). Their house has faulty electricity, and they are accidentally electrocuted. Beetlejuice produces The Handbook for the Recently Deceased and intercepts Adam and Barbara. Cheerleaders help Beetlejuice explain the Maitlands’ situation (“The Whole “Being Dead” Thing – Part 2″): Movers have arrived, and unless Beetlejuice teaches Adam and Barbara to scare other people, they’ll lose everything. The Maitlands agree (“The Whole “Being Dead” Thing – Part 3″).

Charles and Delia, a self-proclaimed life coach, plan to turn the Maitlands’ old house into a flagship model home. They are hiding their relationship from Lydia, Charles’s daughter, who is still mourning. Charles reveals to Lydia that he’s selling their old house and forcing everyone to move forward from her mother’s death (“Let’s Clean Up”). Lydia struggles with her grief and feels abandoned by her dad (“Dead Mom”). In the attic, Beetlejuice explains to Adam and Barbara that they must get the new people in the house to say “Beetlejuice” three times in a row.

Delia tries to connect with Lydia, giving her a yellow dress and explaining that Lydia needs a new perspective (“No Reason”). Delia exits, and Adam and Barbara arrive to scare Lydia… who isn’t scared at all (“Ghosts”). The three become friends and hatch a plan to scare Charles.

As Charles is proposing marriage to Delia, Lydia, Adam, and Barbara try to scare them. However, Charles and Delia can’t see the ghosts. Lydia, upset, goes up to the roof, where she encounters Beetlejuice (“Invisible – Reprise”). He tries to convince her that, instead of jumping off the roof, she should help him. He demonstrates his powers, including possession, on Adam and Barbara (“Say My Name”). Lydia pushes Beetlejuice off the roof, vowing to teach her dad a lesson with Adam and Barbara.

At dinner that evening, Maxie Dean and his model-wife Maxine arrive with a group of Lawyers. Lydia wears the yellow dress and invites Delia to make a toast. As Delia speaks, she is suddenly overcome by song, and the phenomenon spreads to the others (“Day-O – The Banana Boat Song”). Rather than being put off, Maxie Dean is thrilled.

Lydia’s plan has failed, so she uses her last resort: Beetlejuice. The guests scatter in terror (“Showtime!”).

Later, Sky and a few Girl Scouts approach the house (“Girl Scout”). Beetlejuice, Lydia, and his Clones scare them away (“That Beautiful Sound”). Lydia takes the Handbook from Beetlejuice, intent on finding her mom. He reveals to his clones that for him to become a living person, he needs to convince Lydia to marry him – but don’t worry, it’s just a “green card thing.”

In the attic, Lydia, Adam, and Barbara follow instructions from the Handbook to go to the Netherworld, but Barbara stops them, claiming the book is dangerous. Lydia vows to do it herself.

Meanwhile, in the living room, Delia’s guru, Otho, has arrived to perform an exorcism with a device called “The Soul Box.” Beetlejuice tells Lydia that the box can be used to bring her mom back – but when Lydia tries, Barbara is put in danger. To save her, Lydia agrees to marry Beetlejuice. A door appears to send the Maitlands to the Netherworld, but Lydia leaps through instead, with Charles running after her.

In the Netherworld, Miss Argentina and a group of Recently Deceased try to convince Lydia and Charles to go back before JUNO finds them (“What I Know Now”). Lydia rushes deeper into the Netherworld, searching for her mom (“Home – Part 1”). Charles follows her, and the two finally have a conversation about their grief (“Home – Part 2”). They decide to go back home, where the house has been turned into a demonic game show. Lydia enters from the Netherworld wearing a red wedding dress and agrees to marry Beetlejuice, with Charles giving his blessing.

They bring Beetlejuice back to life only to immediately kill him, since, as one of the recently deceased, he’ll be instructed to go directly to the Netherworld. Juno, who is Beetlejuice’s mother, sends him to the Wasteland, but he returns on a giant sandworm just in time to save everyone else. Beetlejuice returns to the Netherworld, and Charles, Delia, Lydia, and the Maitlands decide to live in the house together (“Jump In The Line”).
