Andrew and Anthony are getting married – and
everyone wants to “help”! My Big Gay Italian
Wedding spins into a hysterical fiasco as everyone

in a music and dance-filled extravaganza.
“Feel-good hysterical comedy!” –The Wall Street
Journal. “Hysterically funny! Everyone is going

the perfect play.” –Edge New York. “Genuinely
entertaining!” –New York Times.
