Upright Theatre Co. is holding auditions for its upcoming production of The Wedding Singer. Performers are asked to fill out an online audition form and submit their headshot, resume, conflict calendar, and a video audition to [email protected] of them singing 32 bars of a song in the style of the show or an 80s pop song with accompaniment by December 4, 2022. (No singing a cappella, please.) Callbacks (if needed) will be held in-person on Wednesday, December 7, 2022 from 7:00pm to 10:00pm at Upright Theatre Company’s studio space in Euless, TX. Online audition forms and conflict calendars can be found at the bottom of this page.
ABOUT THE SHOW
The Wedding Singer takes us back 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. Based on the hit Adam Sandler movie, The Wedding Singer's sparkling new score does for the '80s what Hairspray did for the '60s. Just say yes to the most romantic musical in twenty years.
It's 1985, and rock star wannabe, 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, Robbie makes every wedding as disastrous as his own. Enter Julia, a winsome waitress who wins his affection. As luck would have it, Julia is about to be married to a Wall Street shark, and, unless Robbie can pull off the performance of a decade, the girl of his dreams will be gone forever.
UPRIGHT RATING: PG-13 (Parental Advisory)
*Fun romantic comedy with brief strong language and adult situations. Not recommended for young children.
