MY MOTHER'S ITALIAN... I'M IN THERAPY! Closes In Toronto 2/5

Paul Kreppel, the star of My Mother's Italian, My Father's Jewish & I'm in Therapy! currently running at Toronto's Bathurst St. Theatre, is leaving the show to join the National Tour of the musical WICKED as the Wizard.

The producers of My Mother's Italian, My Father's Jewish & I'm in Therapy! wish him all the very best in his new role and have announced that, after a run of 17 weeks (136 performances) where it played to more than 15,000 audience members, the show will now close on February 5.

Don't miss this last opportunity to see Paul Kreppel before he is off to play "the Wizard, the wonderful Wizard of Oz!" Tickets to My Mother's Italian, My Father's Jewish & I'm in Therapy! can be purchased through Ticketmaster at 1-855-985-ARTS (2787) or online at www.italianjewish.ca or www.ticketmaster.ca.

Written by award-winning author Steve Solomon, My Mother's Italian is based on Solomon's life growing up in a wacky family noted for its bi-ethnic diversity and aptitude for dysfunctional behavior. It played for almost two years off-Broadway in New York City; and has toured nationally and internationally in more than 100 cities. Solomon has written two sequels to his original hit. All three shows are currently touring the United States starring either Solomon (who spends more than 40 weeks each year touring with his shows) or other actors he's trained to keep up with demand.

The Toronto show is produced by Philip Roger Roy, Dana Matthow and Bud Martin who also have productions of My Mother's Italian, My Father's Jewish & I'm in Therapy! in Phoenix, Arizona from (January 18 - February 19) and Baltimore, Maryland (March 7 - 11), both starring comedian Ron Tobin; and in Coral Springs, Florida from March 14 - 25 starring show creator Steve Solomon.
