Celebrate Fleet Week With MY BIG GAY ITALIAN WEDDING

For all performances this Memorial Day weekend at My Big Gay Italian Wedding, the new comedy by Anthony J. Wilkinson featuring "Amazing Race" winner Reichen Lehmkuhl, all military personnel in New York are welcome to come see the hit comedy about gay marriage. For FREE!*

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 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-Broadway's 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

My Big Gay Italian Wedding is presented by Dina Manzo (star of "The Real Housewives of New Jersey") and Sonia Blangiardo, in association with Anndee Productions.

Along Anthony J. Wilkinson and Reichen Lehmkuhl, the cast includes 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. My Big Gay Italian Wedding is directed by Teresa A. Cicala with choreography by J. Austin Eyer and original music & lyrics by David Boyd.
