'A Catered Affair' Marquee Goes Up!

The marquee has just gone up and the set is being loaded into the Walter Kerr Theatre (219 West 48th Street) for the upcoming Broadway production of A Catered Affair, the new musical with book by four-time Tony Award-winner Harvey Fierstein, score by John Bucchino and directed by Tony Award-winner John Doyle.

Tickets are now on sale at the theater's box office and at Telecharge.com. The Walter Kerr Theatre's new occupant will begin performances on Tuesday, March 25 with an opening night scheduled for Thursday, April 17.

A Catered Affair stars Tony Award-winner Faith Prince as 'Aggie Hurley,' the mother-of-the-bride, Tony Award-nominee Tom Wopat as 'Tom Hurley,' the father-of-the-bride, Harvey Fierstein as 'Winston,' the uncle-of-the-bride, Leslie Kritzer as 'Jane Hurley,' the bride-to-be and Matt Cavenaugh as 'Ralph Halloran,' the groom-to-be.  The featured cast includes Philip Hoffman, Katie Klaus, Heather MacRae, Lori Wilner and Kristine Zbornik.

"A Catered Affair asks the question that inevitably faces every mother and daughter: Whose wedding is it anyway?  The musical tells the story of a Bronx mother's efforts to give her only daughter the elaborate wedding she never had – and the bride never asked for.  Faith Prince, Tom Wopat and Harvey Fierstein lead the dream cast in this funny, poignant and oh, so human show of love and disaffection.  Fierstein's book and John Bucchino's score explore both our need for love and the true meaning of family," explain press notes.
