When Anthony J. Wilkinson first set out in 2003 to open MY BIG GAY ITALIAN WEDDING at the Actors Playhouse down in the west village, never did he imagine it would have been the conception of a three part series that would mimic his life experiences over two decades. With MY BIG GAY ITALIAN MID LIFE CRISIS set to begin previews tonight, November 12th, 2015, it will mark the first time in Broadway history that an Off-Broadway hit turned into a three-part trilogy. Wilkinson's goal as a comedic author is to depict the three stages before midlife; the fantasy, the reality and the discovery of the difference.
