Yesterday my co-worker and I had tickets to
My Big Italian Gay Wedding. Have you heard of this Off-Broadway show? It's a comedy that follows the trials and tribulations of a couple trying to throw a wedding... an
Italian wedding, no less!
The show was quite funny- do you know why? (It's hard to tell, but this is a picture of the theater...)
Well, remember my hint from yesterday? (New Jersey?)
Guess who were the guest stars in the show for 4 nights?
That's right-
The Real Housewives of New Jersey! The ladies, along with two of their daughters, had a limited engagement with the show as a fundraiser for
Marriage Equality. As I've mentioned, I'm a Bravo junkie and TRHONJ is one of my guilty pleasures! My co-worker also loves the show, so when the opportunity arose to see the this play with our favorite housewives in the starring roles, we couldn't help ourselves! Our tickets were held for us at the box office, so last night we arrived to the theater about 45 minutes before curtain to pick them up... imagine our surprise as we exited the lobby and saw Caroline, Lauren, Ashley and Jacqueline! We were so excited, figuring that was as close as we would get to them all night.
Boy were we wrong! (Sorry for the picture quality- apparently Dina is just too pretty for my camera to photograph!)
We ended up meeting the cast after the show! The ladies were extremely nice, and we spoke to everyone for at least 5 minutes each! Dina was the show's producer, and we spoke to her at length about her work and how much we missed her on The Real Housewives of New Jersey. She couldn't have been nicer or more interested in speaking with us- no wonder we all love her! Then we talked to Lauren about how funny she was in the play we had just seen, and she told us about how on the TV show her brothers outshine her, but in real life she's hilarious- we were all laughing pretty hard at that! Then Jacqueline ran by and shook our hands before jumping into her limo (apparently Teresa was ready to go and Jacqueline was making her late). And finally we got to see Caroline. She was absolutely wonderful in the play (her hairdos were insane, as you can see)- and she couldn't have been nicer in person. She asked how we felt about the show and thanked us for supporting a cause that meant so much to her!
As you can tell, it was a really fun night! Thanks for stopping by- I hope you have a great weekend!
