"My Big Gay Italian Midlife Crisis" made its original debut in December of 2015 at the Snapple Theater Center on 50th Street and Broadway in New York City, where it was extended seven times and ran for two years. In the show, character Anthony Pinnunziato is approaching his forties and is faced with the challenges of balancing his successful company with past and present gay relationships. The interactive comedy of errors is actually set at Hard Rock Atlantic City during a weight loss convention. Pinnunziato owns a company, "Body Body," and is there to compete with other fictional weight loss companies while trying to stay out of trouble.

Fan favorite characters from the Off-Broadway Production, Anthony Pinnunziato (Wilkinson), Aunt Toniann (Debra Toscano), Lucia (Kim Pirrella), Connie (Meagan Robar), and Larry Fanazzi (Chad Kessler) will make their return. Other cast members include Taso Mikroulis (Andrew), Nicholas Barbati (Nathaniel), and Hard Rock Team Members including Vice President of Player Development, Shannon Rivard, Player Development Executive, Director of Player Development, Diane Brown and Director of Player Development, James McMackin. The show will be directed and General Managed by Robert Levinstein (22Q Entertainment).
