Kelly Critic Review: 'The Wedding Singer' at Chartiers Valley High School, March 11-14
Post Gazette: "The connection and eventual love shared between Robby Hart (Kian McCollum) and Julia Sullivan (Jaime Bruno) could be felt throughout the packed theater. It was Friday, March 13th, but the spectacular students involved in the Chartiers Valley production of 'The Wedding Singer' showed no signs of bad luck. An audience of mixed ages sat in the beautiful theater, watching one of the most exciting high school musicals of the season."

I have always been a fan of this show, even though I have never seen it. It is definitely one of the top 10 I want to design at some point. I do question the choice of this musical at a high school level, especially given the time period and ages of the characters. Taking place in the 80's, this play would have come just before many of these actors were born, putting them outside living through it. While I do not doubt that these actors can perform the role, it may not necessarily appeal to their target audience.
As a side note, I find it very interesting that the Post-Gazette has high schoolers reviewing other high school shows...
