synopsis
Its 1985 and New Jerseys favorite wedding singer Robbie Hart is rocking the reception hall with his signature tune, Its Your Wedding Day. When Robbies band takes a break, he bumps into the new waitress, Julia Sullivan. Its Julias first night and she cant help imagining what it would be like if she were the bride. Though her boyfriend Glen hasnt proposed, shes positive its bound to happen Someday. The following day, Robbie gets ready for his own wedding with the help of his Grandma Rosie. But while Robbies standing at the altar, he receives A Note From Linda. It seems that Robbies fianc has changed her mind. Robbie is devastated. Meanwhile, in the bathroom of the banquet hall, Julia is preparing for a date with Glen. Her cousin Holly and her mother Angie try to convince her that Glens going to propose. The set changes to a tacky revolving restaurant where Glen indeed finally asks Julia to marry him (Pop!). Still a wreck from being dumped, Robbie refuses to leave his bed. Instead, he spends his time writing songs about his now ex-fiance (Somebody Kill Me). His bandmates Sammy and George arrive and try to raise his spirits. They give him a letter they found taped to his bedroom door (A Note From Grandma). Convinced he must get back on the horse, Robbie agrees to play another wedding gig. But as soon as hes back at work, his depression turns to rage and he destroys the reception (Casualty of Love). The angry wedding guests toss Robbie into a dumpster outside the hall. Miserable, Robbie refuses to leave until Julia convinces him to Come Out of the Dumpster. Julia suggests that Robbie play non-wedding functions in order to get his feet wet again. Robbie takes her advice and books a bar mitzvah (Today You Are a Man). Robbie then introduces George, the bands keyboard player, saying that he has written a special song for the occasion (Georges Prayer). While George sings, Julia tells Robbie that Glen is too busy to help her register for wedding gifts. Robbie reluctantly agrees to stand in for Glen. As they make their way through the Ridgefield Galleria, Robbie and Julia constantly get mistaken for a couple (Not That Kind of Thing). Julia and Robbie meet up with Holly at the bridal salon. Holly demands to know what Julias wedding kiss will be like. After some cajoling from Holly, Julia practices the kiss on Robbie. Sparks fly. Never having seen this side of Robbie, Holly decides to ask him out on a date. In fact, everyone gets stoked for a Saturday Night in the City. At the club, Holly realizes that Robbie has fallen for Julia. She tells him that Julia is marrying Glen because hes rich. Robbie vows to become more like Glen to win Julia over as the curtain falls.

act one

Determined to start making money, Robbie shows up on Wall Street and asks Glen for a job. Glen reinforces Robbies suspicions that life is truly All About the Green. Meanwhile, Julia grills Holly about what happened at the club. Holly admits that she kissed Robbie, but nothing happened. Julia has doubts about Glen (SomedayReprise). Sammy shows up and tries to put the moves on Holly. Holly blows him off, but cant deny that shes starting to have feelings for him (Right in Front of Your Eyes). Julia finds out that Robbie has quit the band and is now working on Wall Street. She confronts Robbie, telling him he cant give up his music. Robbie tells Julia that shes only marrying Glen because hes got money. Julia storms off and Robbie goes to a bar to drink his problems away. Sammy and George show up and find Robbie getting drunk. They try to cheer him up by singing the joys of being Single. The song only makes Robbie decide to tell Julia how he really feels. Robbie arrives at Julias house and sees her through her window, dressed in her wedding gown. Afraid shell reject him, he decides not to tell her hes in love with her (If I Told You). Drunk and depressed, Robbie arrives home to find Linda waiting for him. She tries to restart their relation-ship, but Robbie ends up passing out (Let Me Come Home). Julia shows up the next morning and finds Linda in Robbies bedroom. Thinking they are back together, Julia decides to elope with Glen to Vegas. Robbie arrives at an anniversary party for his grandparents and Holly tells him that Julia and Glen have eloped. He decides to go after them (If I Told YouReprise). George and Rosie are left onstage alone. They provide their own style of music for the party (Move That Thang). Robbie arrives in Vegas, but cant find Julia and Glen. He meets up with a few celebrity impersonators who help him locate the missing couple. Robbie crashes the wedding and sings Julia his latest composition (Grow Old With You). Robbie proposes and Julia accepts. The happy couple, along with the Vegas impersonators, head home to Jersey. The show ends at Robbie and Julias wedding reception (Its Your Wedding Day).
