The interactive theatrical event begins with one fixed detail: a couple has agreed to get married. Everything else is left in the hands of the audience. From the wedding theme and music to vows, choreography, and ceremony details, attendees collectively shape the event in real time, creating a different experience each performance.

Hosted by Roz Pappalardo and Rachel Terry, the production combines improvisation, audience participation, music, and comedy. Drawing on backgrounds that include performance, event planning, music, dance instruction, floral design, and celebrancy, the creators bring their professional experience into a fast-paced theatrical format.

“We love weddings. They're simultaneously personal and, let's be honest, a little bit performative,” said Terry and Pappalardo in a joint statement. “Our new show, premiering at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, One Hour Wedding , hands the big decisions to a room full of strangers and the outcome? Chaotic, funny, and occasionally quite ridiculous, but also genuinely revealing about connection, choice and how people come together.”

The pair added, “Right now, when shared experience is more important than ever, we love the idea of inviting audiences not just to sit back, but to step in and make something together.”

The production follows the success of R and R Productions' All Fired Up: An 80's Mixtape Musical and continues the company's focus on audience engagement and participation.

Combining live decision-making, improvisation, and comedy, ONE HOUR WEDDING challenges audiences to work together against the clock to create a wedding ceremony from scratch, with results that vary from performance to performance.
