A Catered Affair Arrives on Broadway!

Are you ready to attend the wedding of the year?  You will want to check out Broadway’s recent addition, “A Catered Affair.”  A huge, lavish wedding ceremony takes place on the stage of this hilarious musical and it will most definitely make you want to laugh and cry all at once.  The show opens tonight on Broadway tonight at the Walter Kerr Theatre.  Previews began at the Kerr on March 25 following an acclaimed and an extended engagement at San Diego’s Old Globe Theater.  The production is directed by Tony winner John Doyle and the California engagement garnered the musical seven San Diego Theatre Critics Circle Awards, including one for “Outstanding New Musical.”

According to press notes posted on Playbill.com, A Catered Affair is “funny, heartbreaking and oh so human.  The show reveals relationships strained to their limits when a couple must decide whether to spend their life savings on a family business or to launch their only daughter’s marriage with a lavish catered affair.  Harvey Fierstein’s book and John Bucchino’s score seize the opportunity to explore the meaning of family and the need for love, both new and reawakened.”  Get your pair of Catered Affair tickets from Stubhub.com.
