SYNOPSIS*
At Tony n' Tina's Wedding, audience members actually play the roles of Tony
Nunzio and Valentina Vitale’s family and/or friends. These are roles we
have all been practicing, every time we go to a real wedding. This
universal familiarity with the union of two individuals from two distinct
families, regardless of where you’re from, will take you back and forth
between fantasy and reality throughout the entire evening. The event begins
with the side-splitting ceremony in all its tacky and hilarious glory where
anything can happen (and usually does!). Then, it’s time for the most
hilarious wedding reception you’ll ever attend! You’ll join the wedding
party and their bickering families for a full Italian meal, raise a
champagne toast, eat the wedding cake and dance the night away at the party
you and your friends will be laughing about for years to come. The show
stars "Tina," the headstrong 20-something party girl bride with an attitude
– and "Tony," the rowdy, handsome, yet charming groom-to-be. Other
hilarious characters emerge from this quirky cast, which includes an entire
wedding party of guests ranging from "Connie," the pregnant maid of honor,
to "Father Mark," a priest who thinks he's hip. As the evening unfolds, the
only guarantee is that there will be plenty of drama all around.
