THE WEDDING SINGER - JANUARY 10, 2007
The hilarious film comedy about a down-on-his luck wannabe rocker comes to the Broadway stage.  Robbie Hart is New Jersey's number one wedding singer and the life of every party until his own fiancée strands him at the altar. Bitter and broken, Robbie begins to make every wedding a disaster until a warm-hearted waitress named Julia intervenes. Only trouble is, Julia's about to be married. Can Robbie pull off the performance of the decade and win the girl of his dreams? 

The New York Regional Alumni Chapter is purchasing a group of tickets to this newest Broadway hit for January 10, 2007.  Keep an eye on future issues of the Colonial Cable for more information.
