The film is set during 1985 with the main character Robbie Hart as the lead singer in a band which performs at weddings. He's about to marry his girlfriend Linda. Julia is a waitress at the banquet hall where Robbie performs. She is waiting for her long term boyfriend, Glen, to pop the question. The next week Linda leaves Robbie at the altar and Glen finally asks Julia to marry him. Glen leaves the wedding planning to Julia who then asks Robbie for help. It soon becomes apparent that Julia is with the wrong guy and she falls for Robbie and vice versa. Robbie thinks there is no way he can compete with Glen because Robbie is just a wedding singer and Glen is rich and successful.THE MUSICAL opened on Broadway at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre on April 27, 2006 and closed on December 31, 2006 after 284 performances.
