WEDDING SINGER TICKETS AVAILABLE NOW CentreStage Rolleston is proud to present our 2025 adult musical, The Wedding Singer. Let’s head back to the 1980s! Rock star wannabe Robbie Hart is New Jersey’s most indemand wedding singer as “love is what I do”. When his own wedding plans go down the pan and he is left standing at the altar, Robbie's heartbreak and grief suddenly make him the worst wedding singer you can find. He ruins every wedding he plays at until he meets Julia, a pretty young waitress who dreams of her own perfect wedding. There’s just one problem, she’s already engaged to Glen, a rich, shallow Wall Street broker. Despite Robbie and Julia’s growing feelings, a series of miscommunications lead them away from each other. When Julia elopes with Glen to Las Vegas, Robbie decides to play the gig of his life to win her heart and her hand in marriage. Robbie is brought to life by our very own Tom Gilchrist, who is no stranger to our stage. Rounding out the band is Makani Pockson as Sammy and Kristian Rubi as George. Robbie's love interest Julia is played by the wonderful Lydia Hawes. Completing our band of leads are Stella Stevens as Holly, Spencer Smith as Glen Guglia, Izzy Tocker as Rosie, Ava Hendry

as Linda and Teresa Copsey as Angie. Ably supporting our leads is a large contingent of locals who make up our talented ensemble. This show is so much fun; it will have your foot tapping along to all the tunes and surely should not be one to miss!
