Presented by the original New York producers, in conjunction with Chicago Theater Works, comes the return of one of Chicago’s longest running, smash hit shows, Tony ‘n Tina’s Wedding, beginning Thursday, September 22, 2016 and running through December 30th only. Tony ‘n Tina played an incredible 16 years in Chicago, and during that time entertained more than one million audience members of all ages. Considered one of the hottest tickets in town, Tony ‘n Tina’s Wedding, complete with the 1980’s throwback feel of the original NYC production, will take place, for the first time in Chicago, at a real church. Guests will begin with the ceremony at Resurrection Church, 3309 North Seminary Ave., with a reception immediately following, just one block away, at Vinnie Black’s Coliseum (Chicago Theater Works), 1113 W. Belmont Ave., right in the heart of the Belmont Theatre District.

Directed by Paul Stroili, a cast member in the original Chicago production, Tony ‘n Tina’s Wedding is a hilariously interactive production that is guaranteed to make guests feel like they are truly friends and family of the bride and groom. From the wedding ceremony to the high-energy reception, complete with an Italian-style meal, champagne toast and wedding cake, guests will have the opportunity to celebrate alongside this larger-than-life couple and their family members.

Hailed as "Audaciously imaginative!" by The New York Times, proclaimed “It’s a Hit!” by People Magazine, and said to be "Just like a real wedding ... only funnier!" by the Chicago Tribune, Tony ‘n Tina’s Wedding has won over the hearts of fans in more than 150 cities worldwide. Now, a new generation of theatre goers and fun lovers get to experience this national treasure.
