MY BIG GAY ITALIAN WEDDING BEGINS PERFORMANCES OFF-BROADWAY
Published 2010-05-03
Performances begin Wednesday, May 5th for My Big Gay Italian Wedding, the new Off-Broadway comedy by Anthony J. Wilkinson featuring Amazing Race winner Reichen Lehmkuhl, along with Bryan Anthony, Tricia Burns, Brett Douglas, Liz Gerecitano, Leah Gerstel, Randi Kaplan, Chad Kessler, Kevin McIntyre, Carla-Marie Mercun, Erik Ransom, Meagan Robar, Joe Scanio, Fabio Taliercio, and Adam Zelasko. Opening Night is set for May 22nd. Directed by Teresa A. Cicala with choreography by J. Austin Eyer and original music & lyrics by David Boyd.
When the original production of My Big Gay Italian Wedding premiered in 2003, the idea of gay marriage was a fantasy. In 2010, the International debate on Gay Marriage reaches new heights: Gay marriage is now legal in eight and a half countries (Belgium, Canada, Netherlands, Norway, South Africa, Spain, Sweden and parts of Mexico) and six states in the US (Connecticut, Iowa, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont and District of Columbia). So playwright Anthony Wilkinson has gone back to the typewriter and brought his acclaimed Off-Broadway comedy into this new era of hope and optimism for same sex marriage.
Planning a wedding can be hell or a hell of a lot of fun! Two handsome grooms, one overbearing Italian mother, a jealous ex-boyfriend, the wedding planner from Hell, and an assortment of kooky family and friends all gather together for Off-Broadways newest laugh-out-loud comedy with a heart.
The new comedy has joined forces with Broadway Impact in the fight for Marriage Equality. A portion of the proceeds of every ticket sold for My Big Gay Italian Wedding will benefit Broadway Impact. Broadway Impact is a grassroots organization of the theatre community mobilizing in support of marriage equality. Action = Equality. www.broadwayimpact.com
