Outside reading for 6/25

Last night I went to see the Wedding Singer at Eastlight Theater. I have never really seen the movie, just bits and pieces. The musical seemed more interesting than the movie. I enjoyed it. They took us back to 1985 and the music was hilarious and very good. Jarod Hazzard played Robbie Hart. He was amazing. He has only been doing musicals since last fall, but there was no way of even knowing that. He had an amazing voice. I think he fit his character well. He was entertaining to watch and never once did I feel he was boring. Rachael Waldon played Julia Sullivan. She also has an amazing voice. She has a degree in performing. During the play she realizes how stupid her name sounds if she married Glen. Her name would have been Julia Gulia. That made me laugh. Kelsey Burd played Holly. Holly was a very slutty character. Kelsey did an awesome job. She has been singing and dancing in plays for over ten years now. It showed because she was amazing with the character. Drew Overcash played George. He was probably the most amusing character out of the entire play. George is gay and he wore high heels the entire time he did the show, which lasted about two and a half hours. I would really recommend seeing this. Yes, it is a musical so it's constant singing, but it was very enjoyable. They also interacted with the audience by coming down into the aisles and dancing. They worked very hard and it payed off. My money definitely was not wasted and I would most definitely see it again. I encourage you to see it yourself. You will not be disappointed.

  1. I love 80's music. I have not seen the movie either. For me, going to the musical would be like the difference between seeing a movie and reading the book. I would rather read the book. Glad you liked it.

  2. It sounds like you enjoyed the play. I thought about going to it, but decided to go to Rumors at Corn Stock instead. I went to Rumors because Corn Stock is closer to my house, and I have seen the movie the Wedding Singer before. The movie was good so I probably would have enjoyed the play too. However I am glad that I went to Rumors. It was really good too.

  3. I seen the movie the Wedding Singer and I liked it. I bet the musical was awesome. Kind of like when you read a book and then watch the movie. Of course the book is better because it give you more detail. I can't wait to see our play!

  5. I have seen the Wedding Singer many times. Im a huge Adam Sandler fan, and it sounds like you enjoyed the play. It seems that there are similarities between when you read a book and watch the movie, and watch the movie and see the play. Glad you enjoyed it.

  6. Kelsey Bird is one of my old Panthers! I loved the movie because of the sweet 80s tunes! What is the difference in "reading" a musical vs. a book?
