"This riotously high energy, interactive wedding ceremony and following reception party (where we are the guests) is a ton of fun!... under the kooky and creative direction of William Reilly, this entire huge cast gives focused and hilarious depictions! After the zany, emotion-packed wedding ceremony, we are ushered into their theatre next door from the church for a wild n' whacky reception party. Outrageously entertaining!... everybody loves a wedding! For a roaring good time I highly recommend that you attend this one!" - Pat Taylor, The Tolucan Times
"WOW!"
"A BIG GAY NORTH HOLLYWOOD WEDDING
Run, don't walk, to see A Big Gay North Hollywood Wedding! With ceremony held at NoHo's Saint Matthews Church followed by a reception at the theater next door, this Big Gay Wedding is two hours of interactive hilarity and a show not to be missed! Trust me. You'll be wanting to go back again and again with friends in tow. A gifted band of actors/improv whizzes get into character from the moment the first guests/audience members arrive, greeting them in front of the church, escorting them to their seats, and treating them to a myriad of dramatic/comedic vignettes before, during, and after the ceremony and throughout the reception. Expect to play your own part in this interactive celebration, and don’t be shy about getting up and boogying. You might even catch the wedding boutonniere! A Big Gay North Hollywood Wedding is a smashing good time!"

QUOTES FROM AUDIENCE MEMBERS
OMG! OMG! I had such a great time. My sister and I went to a Friday show. From the minute we walked in, we were pulled in to our own mini characters of the wedding. We danced, laughed, and had an excellent time. I brought my camera and have the best pics and short video clips of a great wedding. We want to go back to see if there were things we didn't catch the first time. As with real weddings, there are things going on in all corners of a reception. This was no exception. Can't wait to go back and bring additional guests.
We couldn't stop laughing. I think its the most fun we've had in a long time. Keeping up with all the wedding drama and actually taking place in the middle of it all was the best part. I would definitely recommend this event to everyone out there. FUN, LAUGHS, & A GREAT TIME GUARANTEED!
This was my second time going to this and I had a blast! I love the cast. They're all so much fun and make you feel like you're part of the family. It's fun. It's crazy. It's shocking. Sometimes you go to the theater and leave thinking, "this was a pleasant evening" - but if "pleasant" is what you use to describe "A Big, Gay, North Hollywood Wedding", you missed the point. Raucous is the word you need to describe this affair. At first I grinned and was amused, then laughed out load, then couldn't stop myself -- I don't want to say too much -- but this is an EXPERIENCE!!! I promise you will not be disappointed.
Go and pretend that you are really a guest at this wedding, and you will have a fantastic time. Be sure to be an active participant, mill around in the church reception area, talk with the family and guests. It soon becomes difficult to determine who is IN the play and who are the play-goers. But that makes it all the more fun. One of the most fun, and unusual nights out that LA has to offer. Just go.
The evening was thoroughly funny, engaging and full of surprises...let's just say when you have a Jewish boy from a New Jersey home marrying a Catholic boy from a New England home, chaos is bound to happen. These grooms and all their hilarious family drama made Romeo and Juliet look like the perfect couple.
I knew the night was a true success when my friend, who is not the easist person to please, was seen getting his groove back with Aunt Myra on the dance floor...and with the best man behind the chupah (or was it a pew?). I can not wait to come back with more friends and make the wedding party even bigger...and gayer!
They had me at "I do."
BEFORE we even took our seats, this was PURE delight! From milling around in front of the church to the final punch... I mean punchline... this show is FABULOUS. Kyle is so precious I wanted to take him home, Simone is PERFECT and the whole party... I mean cast... was sensational. "Interactive" takes on a whole new meaning and the entertainment was non-stop.
So much fun I'm going again next week! I love the cast, the story, and the event itself.
Don't miss the opportunity to be a part of wacky, high energy party. It's one of the most fun events I've been to all year!
We loved this play......the audience participation was throughout the event...from the pre-wedding converations, the big event and the hilarious reception where we shared in the champagne toast, wedding cake and dancing. We had a blast!!!! I would highly recommend this event to anyone who likes to have fun !!!!
WOW- "Wonderful, Over the Top, Wedding" It truly was a delightful afternoon and truly one of the best- better than Tony and Tina and another similar play but with a lesbian theme. The venue of St. Matthews Church was a fantastic location.
This was one of the best "shows" I've been to in a long time. It was fun, entertaining and totally made you come out of your shell and interact with the cast. I would certainly recommend this event for a fun evening. Look for a fun crowd when you're selecting your reception table... that makes all the difference.
Prepare yourself for a fabulous time from start to finish! The actors become the Groom & Groom, family and friends at a wedding you'll never forget! You'll have more fun if you get close to the players who will make you feel right at home! Come as you are or dress up, it doesn't matter. The reception doesn't include food so don't come hungry but there is a little Champagne to toast the newlyweds and some wedding cake too. I don't think Tony & Tina had this much fun!!!
From the moment we took our seats as "friends of the groom" we were part of the fabric of this wonderfully wacky wedding. The cast goes out of the way to make you feel very comfortable in joining their ensemble - while never breaking character. Brent's parents are a hoot and a half - his father Phil is always reacting to what's going on - you can look at him anytime throughout the performance for a laugh. I danced with Uncle Morty - what a charmer! His sista and her dotter from New Jersey hit every stereotype without being stereotypically predictable. Simone and L are AbFab! I really got into being part of this production. It was Sunday afternoon - a smaller crowd -to be sure but the cast ate us up! Bring your camera - and some singles for the bar.....there isn't a bad seat or performance in the house. I'll be going back.
This was them most fun wedding I have ever been to. My only regret was that I didn't bring my camera. My friend wasn't sure if the people were actors or not because nobody broke character. I got to sing and dance, drink and eat wedding cake. And I even caught the flower so I will be the next one to fall in love. It doesn't get much better than that. I want to go again.
It was so much fun! You may enter as a spectator but will quickly become a member of the family in this unique and wonderful experience. I can’t wait to go again!
What a blast! I have been to Tony and Tina's Wedding and liked this ten times more. It seemed alot more believable. I really felt like I was at a wedding. I had hilarious conversations with some of the characters.
OMYG !!! This was far more fun and hilarious than our own wedding...We still have smiles and giggles when we talk about the Aunt...Oh No her daughter...No the groomsman..the Maid of Honor or the Photo Oportunist... can't possibly decide who was the best or most memorable, because every talented person involved in the Production should be congradulated on a super evening of Entertainment. The absoulte most fun in years and we will return...
I laughed, I cried, I danced...I had a ball!!!!
Will be going back again...repeatedly!!
