I enjoy a good play -- and this play was average. The highlights were the players. Most performed very well and if that is what you are going to see, I recommend this show. I however was not going to see how the troop performed, I was going to see how a great movie was translated to the stage. To explain my disappointment, let me talk about an adaptation I did like.

I was expecting Spam-a-lot, the adaptation of the movie "Monte Python and the Holy Grail." The play Spam-a-lot was awesome in and of itself. Having seen the movie over and over I was expecting to see it performed on stage. It was not. Each scene had elements of the movie in it, but it was adapted for a live audience. It even had some modern-day punchlines. Very entertaining.

Back to Wedding Singer. Too many times this play relied on the writing of the movie. The jokes, the dialog, etc. were sometimes verbatim. That was less than entertaining as Drew Barrymore and Adam Sandler had the benefit of multiple retakes and our actors did not. The saving grace was the final scene. The "plane ride" and the Vegas scene was AWESOME. Frankly, had the rest of the play been like that I would have given it 5 stars. That scene nearly made the whole play!

This was the worst Broadway event ever! The acting and dancing were amateurish, the music was too loud and drowned out the singers. Wicked was superior, but this production was terrible, we had enough by intermission.

I took in this musical for my wife, I knew she would enjoy it and when she is happy I am happy. But much to my surprise I had a great time too. The Wedding Singer was full of energy and good laughs. I was tired when I went in and awake when I left. Fun Fun Fun

After seeing Wicked recently this pales in comparison but it was an acceptable show especially since the ticket price was much cheaper. I guess you could say we got what we paid for. The music and dance numbers were lively but there were some jokes that were rather tacky.
I like the movie version of this story much better but it was a fun night out with my daughter.

I was so looking forward to seeing this play for months. Saw the movie and of course loved that. I was expecting so much more from it. The acting was overdone, the singing was mediocre. I left at intermission. I was so disappointed.

The unfortunate thing in all of this is that I had just seen "Wicked" 2 weeks ago at the same theater and was enthralled with it all and I guess anything that I see will pale in comparison.

Started out very slow and seemingly low production quality. The production picked up momentum in the second act, but lacked the comedy I was expecting. I guess Adam Sandler's comedic writings doesn't translate well from a screenplay to a musical.

My daughter and I were very disappointed in the production; we were expecting so much more. Those who sang had good voices, the dancing left much to be desired especially by Julia.

We felt we were attending a high school performance and thought the ticket pricing was much too high for what we were getting. We left at intermission..

My husband and I really enjoyed the musical. However, the biggest reason we bought tickets for the event was because we love the 80's music from the movie and it was absent from the Musical. I wonder why? The comedy was funny and we enjoyed overall.

The show does not draw you into the characters near as well as the movie. Singing is just average. The only two songs that bring you closer to the characters are taken from the movie. The show hits you over the head with too many 80's cliche' moments culminating with a laughable ending that is neither touching nor close to being believeable. The George and Grandma characters keep the performance lively but do not make up for the lack of character development with the main players.

Really an enjoying evening. If you were a teenager in the 80's this is a must. Excellent performances and fun music. The play had a wondeful sense of humor that provided many laughs. The only knock was it was in the large paramount theater and would have been better served in a more intimate setting

My group all thought the show was entertaining and the performers were talented and to be admired for their committment to putting on a good show. Our favorite performers were "Linda" and "Robby." Reading through the program, we were pleasantly surprised to read that Robby & Julia were husband and wife in real life. How nice! No wonder they had such good chemistry. The programs were interesting as they provided insight into the performers' private lives and accomplishments. Most spectators no doubt think performing is an easy way to make a living, but when you read the accomplishments and think about how the performers travel and sacrifice, you appreciate the show even more. A nice way to spend a Thursday evening in a one horse town.

Thank goodness I only paid 1/2 price for my tickets. There was hardly anyone sitting around us in the Grand Tier. At least our seats were great! I would rate this play as a "really good High School production".
The sound was very good for this production. We went to "Footloose" and couldn't understand a thing being said and we sat in the center of the hall.
All in all it was a pleasant night spent with my husband watching a play.
