TONY N' TINA'S WEDDING is Back in Chicago for One Weekend

Corella Productions Dinner Theatre is proud to announce the return of Tony n’ Tina’s Wedding, for one weekend only, Friday, June 23 and Saturday, June 24  from 5:30 - 10:30 p.m. at iO Theatre, 1501 N. Kingsbury St. Tickets are $80 and $100 (VIP) and includes tickets to the performance, dinner, dancing, wedding cake and an unforgettable party. Press are invited to attend Friday, June 23 at 5:30 p.m. A cash bar is also available and wedding guests are recommended to be 21 years of age and older. A limited number of VIP tickets with premium seating with Tony and Tina’s family are also available. Tickets at CorellaProductions.com

Tony n’ Tina’s Wedding arrived in Chicago more than three decades ago and became one of the first interactive experiences delighting audiences over its long run. Tony n’ Tina’s Wedding is a one-of-a-kind comedy staged as a festive celebration in which the audience doesn’t just watch the show, but participates directly in the fun as members of the family or friends of the bride and groom. From the wedding ceremony to the reception, audiences join Tony and Tina’s colorful and madcap Italian-American families in a show that blurs the line between fantasy and reality. The audience members, as wedding guests, get to be a part of  the celebration, partying along with the rest of Tony and Tina’s family and friends as if they have known them for years.

This inspired comedy has won over the hearts of  thousands of people since the show first opened in New York City in 1988. The longest running Off-Broadway show has since enjoyed extended runs and worldwide success, with performances in over 100 cities, including Chicago as recently as 2016 and around the world. 

“It is a thrill for me to be bringing Tony n’ Tina’s Wedding back to Chicago where it had a fantastic run,” said Artistic Director Patty Corella. “We have been working closely with the playwrights and I look forward to saying “Welcome to the family” and having Chicagoans join the party again with our version of this classic comedy. While there is only one weekend scheduled at this time, the hope is Tony n’ Tina‘s Wedding will be well received again and will be playing to Chicago audiences for several years to come.”

Review: AMERICAN PSYCHO: The Musical at Kokandy Productions

Kokandy Productions’ Chicago premiere of AMERICAN PSYCHO: The Musical is a delectable, campy romp. Producing Artistic Director Derek Van Barham’s production is a mainly bloodless vision for the bloody tale of serial killer finance bro Patrick Bateman — and it’s an approach that works incredibly well for the material. I know that AMERICAN PSYCHO: The Musical was short-lived on Broadway and that that production was a literal bloodbath. The fact that Kokandy’s production substitutes red confetti for stage blood is a microcosm of how well this scrappy interpretation of the musical works: By making the show more camp, less horror story, audiences are then free to indulge in the satire and fun.

Review: THE LEHMAN TRILOGY at TimeLine Theatre Company/Broadway In Chicago

THE LEHMAN TRILOGY is a sweeping play that covers 164 years of history as it weaves together fact and fiction to chart the rise and fall of Lehman Brothers. The play’s title mirrors the ambition of the piece: It has a run-time of over three hours that unfolds in three acts — all performed by only three actors. The trilogy in the title is thus a literal reflection of the play’s structure and the roles, but it’s also suggestive of the piece’s mythical nature. Likewise, playwright Stefano Massani’s script (adapted by Ben Power) has a rhythmic storytelling style; the actors often narrate their own stories and actions in a chamber theater type of presentation. Although the run time is long, the fact that THE LEHMAN TRILOGY covers so much ground means it remains interesting throughout — although I found I was ultimately more intellectually than emotionally stimulated.
