If you have never seen "The Wedding Singer," The Portland Players provided this synopsis in its press release:

After being jilted and left at the altar, Robbie, a wedding singer with dreams of stardom, finds himself enamored by Julia, a waitress at the reception hall where he performs. Julia, is currently engaged to Glenn, a straight laced, Wall Street, bond investor and business man. Robbie falls into a deep, destructive depression, and manages to ruin the wedding for one of the parties he sings for, ending with his being thrown into a dumpster. Through a series of events and misadventures, Julia and Robbie, keep finding themselves thrown together and eventually feelings grow. Through the fun and energetic music, we follow their story and hope that Julia can save Robbie from being a washed up bar mitzvah singer for the rest of his life.
