Yay I love this show and the cast and the music and everything! It's so much fun and yes it's not Light in the Piazza but it doesn't try to be. It's goofy and fun and I think that's great. Stephen Lynch is hilarious and Laura is a hoot. Felicia is probably my favorite cuz her songs are just hilarious! Go Wedding Singer I hope they have a long healthy run.
RIP Natasha Richardson. ~You were a light on this earth ~
"Tonight we're gonna partay like it's 1986!!!!!!!" So. adorable. Haven't seen him, but Stephen Lynch is such an excellent choice.

every time i've seen this show, the entire cast seems and acts ECSTATIC to be there. genuine love for performing radiates off that stage. that's one of the main reasons i enjoy TWS so much.
Infinite, I couldn't have said it better myself. I think that's really a good chunk of the reason the shows box office sales trippled the day after the Tony's! I mean, besides the fact that that number was PERFECT to do, but everyone just always looks like they have a ridiculous amount of fun up there and they're all so energetic. Not to mention I know they're all real proud of it. :)
They are one big family. if you've seen them all outside of the Hirschfeld (meaning away from the theater/stage door)you can tell immediately. thats one of the things I love about this cast, their connection with each other.
I remember Lynch saying on the Today Show that he was having so much fun coming into work every day with people he loves. and of course the cast being as corny as they are all awwwwed in the background.
The stage door of this show is so much fun! There is a promotion on www.broadwayoffers.com Orchestra seats for $ 66.25 using the code WSPBX78, but it's good only till July 17th.

I absolutely love "The Wedding Singer". (But most people knew that.) I've seen it seven times (*blushes*) and it's not for just one thing.
I adore the cast. They're one of the hardest working, most talented, most fan-friendly casts I've ever run into.
I adore the music. I'm a baby of the '80s and I grew up on Culture Club and Cyndi Lauper, so it's like I'm...two again. LOL.
I adore the story. Call me a twisted romantic, but any love story that has the good guy stealing the girl from her jerk-off of a boyfriend is a definite favorite.
I love that no matter how many times I see it, I find something different about it. Whether it's a line, or a joke, or a quick movement or improvised gesture... It never gets old.

Felicia Finley is crazy! I love her, and she is drop dead gorgeous, and i love when she says "Suit yourself Jennifer" in the show, she got raves from every newspaper for her portrait of Linda. Also Wicked original cast member Adinah Alexander, gets to act a lot in TWS and she really gets comedy and has a fantastic voice.

Tina Maddigan is phenomenal as Julia. Friggin' amazing!
"I'm learning to dig deep down inside and find the truth within myself and put that out. I think what we identify with in popular music more than anything else is when someone just shares a truth that we can relate to. That's what I'm searching for in my music." - Ron Bohmer
"I broke the boundaries. It wasn't cool to be in plays- especially if you were in sports & I was in both." - Ashton Kutcher
Who's Tina Maddigan? OH! You mean the pretty blonde girl singing with Kevin Kern in this picture? Hahaha.. I honestly don't know much about her other than she's the stand-by for Julia and was in Mamma Mia. So, Phantom2, get to work!
i love love loveee this show. i had such a great time when i saw it and i, too, have been listening to it non-stop!
A dancer might dream to see her name in lights and mean it,
but all she really dreams is to make someone
else feel the way she did when she first saw a dancer.

To be honest, The Wedding Singer CD is the one that gets me through the day at work. I listen to it in the morning to wake myself up, then I move on to a couple of other CDs, but before the day is through I've ended up listening to it at least 3 times.. sitting at my desk, bouncing around in my seat. I'm sure I look like a moron. Haha.
