Athlone Musical Society announces details of 2021 show

Athlone Musical Society announced this week that it will perform 'The Wedding Singer' for its annual production next year.

The popular local group staged 'Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat' at the Dean Crowe Theatre shortly before Covid-19 brought live stage shows to a halt in March of this year.

In a post on its Facebook page yesterday, the society made the announcement that 'The Wedding Singer' would be its 2021 production.

The dates for the show's run have been listed as Saturday, March 6, to Saturday, March 13, next year.

"We are all praying that our current situation will be a lot brighter and safer by next year and that we can get back to doing what we love to do most in a safe capacity," said the Athlone Musical Society post.

Its audition dates for the cast of next year's show have yet to be confirmed.

A popular Broadway musical in recent times, 'The Wedding Singer' was a 1998 film starring Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore.
