BHS spring musical makes fun with wedding plans
The Bluffton High School 2022 Spring Musical is a production of Virgil’s Wedding, a musical comedy with book by Eddie McPherson and music by Allen Koepke.
Performances are April 8 and 9 at 7:30 p.m. and April 10 at 2:00 p.m. on the stage of Bluffton Middle School, 116 S. Jackson St.
Reserve seating tickets ($5) are on sale in the middle school office during school hours. General admission tickets ($3 adult, $1 students) will be available at the door.
The entertainment focuses on the social clash of the century: Ms. Delanie, a high-end wedding planner, and her assistant, Barbie, are hired to direct a simple ceremony for two of Lickskillit's favorite lovebirds. Grinning with confidence and guaranteed a promotion if the Margaret Hooper-Virgil Sludge wedding is a success, Ms. Delanie invites her boss, Mr. Wright, to attend the simple ceremony.
But it's a wild romp before the nuptials are exchanged. The bride doubts the groom's love, the in-laws are decorating the church with Christmas garland, the Reverend arrives late with notes for a funeral service, and the groom ends up spending the night before the wedding in his best man's lizard trap.
The morning of the wedding is a coordinator's nightmare. It starts with a skittish bride who thinks she's promised her love to the wrong man (her mama told her to marry “Mr. Right”), a lost groom and ungracious relatives that refuse to cooperate with fancy city ladies.
Too busy with the bride to worry about the groom, Ms. Delanie and Barbie work on the threshold of tragedy trying to explain the difference between Mr. Wright and “Mr. Right” to the bride before she ends up marrying the wrong “Mr. Right.”
The musical is produced by special arrangement with Brooklyn Publishers. The directors are Kara Zink and Kevin Gratz.
