"Somebody kill me please!"

I'm so bummed! THE WEDDING SINGER is going to close at the end of the year. I guess I better go and get one last hit of the 1980s...sniff...

From this article on Playbill:

THE WEDDING SINGER, the new musical based on the Adam Sandler film of the same name, will end its Broadway run at the Hirschfeld Theatre Dec. 31. The musical will have played 30 previews and 284 performances.

THE WEDDING SINGER, which played an out-of-town tryout at Seattle's 5th Avenue Theatre, officially opened on Broadway April 27; previews began March 30.

Producers of the musical are currently in discussion for a national tour that would begin in 2007. Productions in both Japan and Korea are also in the works, and a deal was recently made with Music Theatre International for stock and amateur rights.

Something tells me this show is going to have a very strong after-Broadway life!
