GARDEN IN THE HEIGHTS
3926 FEAGAN

"At Tony n' Tina's Wedding you're more than a member of the audience, you're part of the family!"


The national tour of TONY N' TINA'S WEDDING, marches into Houston's Garden in the Heights, 3926 Feagan, January 5 - February 14, 1999 as part of the 1998-1999 MasterCard Broadway Series. Tickets are priced at $49.50 and may be purchased at all Ticketmaster ticket centers or charge-by-phone at 713-629-3700.


TONY N' TINA'S WEDDING transcends theatrical performance. Conceived as a satire of an Italian-American wedding in which the audience participates in all aspects of the fictitious event, the evening has drawn enthusiastic praise from guests and reviewers alike. The event begins, of course, with the wedding ceremony, proceeds through the receiving line into the reception where guests join the happy couple and their families in the traditional champagne toast, dine from the Italian buffet, dance to live music, feast on wedding cake and enjoy the spontaneity of improvised madness.

TONY N' TINA'S WEDDING is currently the second longest-running show in Off-Broadway history. Its enormous success in New York, spanning a decade, and in numerous other markets worldwide have inspired many imitators.

" The beauty is that the show is different for every person there," says first-time producer Bradley L. Broecker. "Your experience of TONY N' TINA'S WEDDING will be unique ... entirely your own. It just depends on which performers you interact with," he said. "And, that is why people keep coming back, over and over again."
