My Big Gay Italian Wedding and My Big Gay Italian Funeral will close off-Broadway on August 22 and August 30, respectively. The comedies play in rep at St Luke’s Theatre under the direction of Sonia Blangiardo.
Starring and written by Anthony Wilkinson, My Big Gay Italian Wedding and My Big Gay Italian Funeral are both loosely based on his own wacky Italian family. Wedding tells the story of Anthony Pinnunziato (Wilkinson), a gay Italian-American who wants to marry his boyfriend Andrew in a traditional wedding ceremony. Funeral tells the story of Anthony and his large family mourning the death of his father.
The previously reported My Big Gay Italian Mid Life Crisis is still set to play off-Broadway this fall but a production spokesperson tells Broadway.com that there have been some changes that will be announced soon.
Broadway.com customers with tickets to canceled performances will be contacted with information on refunds or exchanges.
