FIRST LOOKS!

Hi Kids

Now that a few production shots have appeared on other Broadway sites, I thought I'd share a few with YOU!

Harvey Fierstein, Faith Prince and Tom Wopat as family

Ain't we a sight? I swear, when I see myself in these clothes and that hairdo my whole childhood comes rushing back to me. Who knew I'd grow up to be my Uncle Paul?

Here's Faith Prince as Aggie Hurley imagining the wedding of her dreams...

And if anyone was ever scared to have a wedding because their relatives might misbehave... Well, this scene from our show won't quell those fears. 

That's Leslie Kritzer, Matt Cavenaugh, Lori Wilner on the left side of the table. Harvey Fierstein at the head, and Philip Hoffman and Tom Wopat on the right.
