THE 1980s was the decade of crimped hair, mixtapes, leg warmers and Michael Jackson’s hit song Thriller.
Now Gold Coasters can relive the era by snapping up one of the last seats to the hit Broadway musical The Wedding Singer.
The musical’s leading cast includes Teagan Wouters as Julia, who was played by Drew Barrymore in the movie, Christian Charisiou who will channel Adam Sandler as jilted groom Robbie Hart and Nadia Komazec as the rebellious Holly.
HOTA has released final seats to the musical which features the Gold Coast’s Max Patterson who returned home from touring to the West End and throughout America.
Patterson was cast as a David Bowie impersonator and was excited to perform at HOTA where he spent many years showcasing his end-of-year dance concerts.

He said his early training was at Paradise Performers Academy in Mermaid Beach.
“After everything that was 2020, it’s really special to be able to return to the Gold Coast to perform a show of this calibre for all my family and friends,” he said.

“Plus, I’m pretty sure The Wedding Singer has more sequins than all of my dance school concerts combined – they won’t know what’s hit them,” he said.
Final seats have just been released for the Gold Coast season which finishes on June 26 before heading to Sydney.

GOLD Coast musical lovers are invited to attend Aquinas College's performance of Legally Blonde at HOTA on Thursday, May 27.
The award-winning musical is based on the adored movie, Legally Blonde The Musical, and follows the transformation of Elle Woods as she tackles stereotypes and scandal in pursuit of her dreams.
The show is the largest high school musical performed in the city with more than 150 students in the cast, crew and a multitude of staff behind the scenes.
The creative behind the musical is Arthur Henry, who says students have been working tirelessly on the production since January and that it was going to be “one Elle of a show”.
On Wednesday morning 600 students from Guardian Angels, Jubilee, St Brigid’s and St Kevin’s primary schools were treated to a full dress rehearsal of the show.
The show is two-and-a-hour hours, including a 20-minute interval, and tickets costs $25.
