The Wedding Singer Review

KING’S THEATRE, EDINBURGH – UNTIL SATURDAY 23RD MARCH.

REVIEWED BY SIOBHAN WILSON

5*****

Classic Adam Sandler film from the 90’s lends itself perfectly to the stage.

A wedding singer who is jilted at the alter then proceeds to fall in love with a local waitress who works the wedding scene. Unfortunately, she is in a relationship with a big city type. This timeless story of will they won’t they leaves you ever hopefully that the right couple will end up together.

Fraser Jamieson is a natural as Robbie heart, makes you fall for the lovable romantic and plays the part as if it was written for him.

Katherine Croan as Julia Sullivan captures the audience attention form the get go with her glorious voice.

Ross MacPherson as George has the whole audience in the palm of his hand with his effortless humor be it center stage strutting is stuff or up stage left just miming, he is captivating.

Cathy Geddie as Rosie is an inspired casting. Not only showing off her impressive dance and singing talents but her amazing acting skills meant that you could really believe she was the hip Grandmother that she was portraying.

The design team have outdone themselves transporting you straight into the 1980s from curtain up.

The Score has you tapping, clapping and singing along the whole night through.

While the chorography makes you want to get up and “move your thang” along with the cast.

If you don’t have your tickets yet ‘shake your shimmy’ and get down to see this feel good hit.
