The bride is Jewish. The groom is Catholic. Her mother is a force of nature. His mother is a tempest in a cocktail shaker. And, when the bride's ex-boyfriend crashes the party, the perfect wedding starts to unravel faster than you can whistle "Here Comes the Bride!" It's up to the sister of the bride to turn a tangled mess into happily ever after in this musical comedy for anyone who ever had parents.
If this sounds like a tragedy, you might be surprised to find out that this story is actually a silly, sweet, and often sentimental musical comedy, fresh off of Broadway. The Players Guild of Dearborn is proudly presenting It Shoulda Been You from May 3-26, and you are cordially invited to the matrimonial mess of the season!
It Shoulda Been You is directed by Marc Walentowicz with music direction by Amanda McFarland and choreography by Janeen Bodary. The production team includes Kori Bielaniec as Assistant Director with Jeff Bartos and Stan Guarnelo as Producers.
