When it comes to retro-action, it's hard to top The Wedding Singer, the 1980s-set film in which Adam Sandler sang in a wedding band and looked for his own true love. The soundtrack was wall-to-wall 80s hits and the movie played up visual references to that decade. Now we have the stage version, and it's even more retro than the movie, except this time around the songs are originals, written by Chad Beguelin and Matthew Sklar. ("Somebody Kill Me" and "Grow Old With You" actually are the ones originals from the film.) The duo has delivered a silly-but-fun pop score that often refers to 80s musical styles without hitting you over head with them—-you'll hear nods to early Madonna and Prince and a whole lot of cheesy synth lines. Think of it as the 80s answer to Hairspray. Opener "It's Your Wedding Day" and "Someday," for instance, will stick in your head for days on end. Singing comedian Stephen Lynch proves to be an endearing leading man, while silver-throated Laura Benanti takes up the Drew Barrymore part. But it's belter Felicia Finley who steals the show with her two Pat Benatar-ish numbers, "A Note from Linda" and "Let Me Come Home." --Elisabeth Vincentelli

 Great Upbeat Soundtrack! July 10, 2008
I am surprised this did not make it on Broadway longer. What a great trip back in time! Saw the touring show and I had to get the soundtrack.
 Blah April 7, 2008
I'm a big Stephen Lynch fan, but this is pretty dull. Rent the movie, or buy one of his comedy albums instead.
Awesome Sountrack February 11, 2008

For Christmas, my parents gave me two tickets to see The Wedding Singer. Although I saw the movie, I had no idea what to expect from the musical. So, I purchased the soundtrack and was very pleasantly surprised. Anyone who listens to this CD will find something to whet their musical appetite. Now that I've heard the CD, I can't wait to see the show!
Wedding Gift September 14, 2007
The Wedding Singer was a fun Broadway show. I am giving this cd along with 2 tickets to the touring production as a wedding gift.
hilarous songs August 7, 2007
The songs on this CD are hilarious! I love Broadway musicals as does my daughter...she aspires to be an actress/singer when she grows up.
