This uproarious hit from Off-Broadway by Colman Domingo (Oscar nominated for Rustin) follows the adventure of Gil, a man on a mission to find the perfect resting place for his mother. When his vivacious mother passes, Gil returns home and decides to have her cremated - despite his raucous Aunt Glo’s desire for a traditional funeral and burial. Then his flamboyant best friend takes him on an unexpected road trip with his mother’s ashes, and a furious Aunt Glo follows in hot pursuit with the sensitive funeral director in tow. Both outrageously funny and immensely touching, Wild With Happy is a wild ride through love, loss, and just maybe, The Most Magical Place on Earth.
TERRY/OTHERS: 30-year-old very good-looking African American man, very bright spirit. A healer. Prince Charming.
MO/OTHERS: 40-year-old African American male, vain, and sassy. Masculine-looking, well-built, with a dash of lady. The fairy.
GIL: 40-year-old African American male. Ivy League educated. Bitter. Sardonic. Deep down inside, a romantic and believer. He is our deconstructed Cinderella. This role has been precast.
ADELAIDE/AUNT GLO: African American woman; 25-60s. Wide range of kind and good-natured to hell on wheels. From the fairy godmother to the evil stepmother. This role has been precast.
