From the moment we took our seats as "friends of the groom" we were part of the fabric of this wonderfully wacky wedding. The cast goes out of the way to make you feel very comfortable in joining their ensemble - while never breaking character. Brent's parents are a hoot and a half - his father Phil is always reacting to what's going on - you can look at him anytime throughout the performance for a laugh. I danced with Uncle Morty - what a charmer! His sista and her dotter from New Jersey hit every stereotype without being stereotypically predictable. Simone and L are AbFab! I really got into being part of this production. It was Sunday afternoon - a smaller crowd -to be sure but the cast ate us up! Bring your camera - and some singles for the bar.....there isn't a bad seat or performance in the house. I'll be going back.
Sometimes you go to the theater and leave thinking, "this was a pleasant evening" - but if "pleasant" is what you use to describe "A Big, Gay, North Hollywood Wedding", you missed the point. Raucous is the word you need to describe this affair. At first I grinned and was amused, then laughed out load, then couldn't stop myself -- I don't want to say too much -- but this is an EXPERIENCE!!! I promise you will not be disappointed. You actually get vested in some of these characters: Gavin, Bobby, Simone, Kyle (OMG, Kyle!!!), Kitty, L, and Carlos. It was like seeing my friends, my BFF's, and my drama unfold!! I will probably go again!!!
This was soooo much fun! I highly recommend it for everyone to attend for an evening of good fun, laughter and great way to meet new friends. Everyone made me feel as part of the wedding/guest. I loved, loved, loved Kyle and his broken heart. The parent of the groom...well, one of the grooms were hillarious. And the cake was delicious too. It's like Tony & Tina's wedding with a twist...a hell of a twist. ;-) You gotta go!
