TONY N' TINA'S WEDDING to Feature Local Actors 1/20-30

Direct from New York, Tony N' Tina's Wedding, the longest running Off-Broadway comedy in history, comes to Columbus. As Tony and Tina exchange vows, the audience plays the part of family and friends joining them for the reception feast and the hilarious family drama which ensues. Theatre goers will enjoy an array of embarrassing, bumbling, and colorful wedding guests as they witness the union of these distinct and forever funny families. This all-inclusive, interactive matrimonial experience includes the ceremony, reception, a sit-down, Italian baked ziti dinner, champagne toast, wedding cake, music, dancing, and much more.

Directed by Tony Lauria, the production is staffed with four actors from New York-Anthony Augello (Tony Nunzio), Concetta Rella (Tina Vitale), Lee Buckman (Caterer Vinny Black), and Danny Prata (Wedding Singer). The remaining 19 roles will be played by local actors.
