REVIEW: Run To See "My Big Gay Italian Funeral"

Run, don't walk to see the fabulous new play "My Big Gay Italian Funeral," a funny heartwarming story of a dysfunctional family dealing with death and the drama that comes along with it. Creator, producer, and actor Anthony J. Wilkinson's writing rings true and his characters are brought vividly to life in expert performances.

As if stepping up as the head if the family wasn't stressful enough for Anthony Pinnunziato, superbly played by Wilkinson himself, he has to deal with the return of a brother he hasn't had a relationship with for over 15 years. While "My Big Gay Italian Funeral" progress it becomes apparent that through all the hilarious banter, what lays at the heart of this story is love.

Gay Italian Wedding" at St. Luke's Theatre
Anthony Wilkinson’s soapy comedy of love and emotional ennui, "My Big Gay Italian Wedding" is still going strong Off-Broadway, where it's charming audiences with a smart script and hilarious performances. Writer Anthony Wilkinson portrays Anthony Pinnunziato, a wacky but lovable Italian guy who surprises his family with news he is going to get married to his Polish boyfriend, Andrew (Brandon Goins). What ensues after the announcement is comedy gold.

Add to the mix Anthony’s eclectic group of friends, his best friend Mario (Drew Little), waring exes Lucia and Connie (Liz Gerecitano, Meagan Robar), the Diva Rodney (Erik Ransom, who also plays another FUN role), and the adorable Frankie (Nick Varricchio).
