in 2003, Anthony J. Wilkinson’s MY BIG GAY ITALIAN WEDDING premiered, a madcap musical comedy about an Italian family preparing for the unusual marriage of Andrew and Anthony. The show is now back, updated by Wilkinson and starring AMAZING RACE winner Reichen Lehmkuhl as Andrew, Wilkinson as Anthony, Randi Kaplan as Angela, Tricia Burns as Maria, and Carla-Marie Mercun as Aunt Toniann, with choreography by J. Austin Eyer and original songs by David Boyd. Directed by Teresa A. Cicala, MY BIG GAY ITALIAN WEDDING features a crazy wedding planner, a conniving ex-boyfriend, a loudmouth mother, and lots of relatives trying to deal with something not quite as traditional as they are used to. Previews began May 5 for a May 22 opening. Tickets run $29.50 – $69.50, and a portion of the proceeds from every sale will go to Broadway Impact to support the fight for marriage equality.
