Last weekend we took Andrew & Maria to SF to see a show called Tony n' Tina's Wedding in San Francisco. We headed down to SF just after 1 in the afternoon. We checked into the Westin hotel, changed clothes and made our way down to Fisherman's Wharf for the show at Castagnola's Restaurant. We had such a good time. There was drinking, dinner and a show of epic proporations. It was absolutely hilarious.
About the Show
Get yourself invited to TONY N' TINA'S WEDDING, now celebrating its 19th Hilarious Year in New York! At TONY N' TINA'S WEDDING you don't just watch the show...you are the show. It's an all-inclusive event where you're treated like one of the family.
The event begins with the side-splitting ceremony where anything can happen (and usually does!). Then, it's time for the most hilarious wedding reception you'll ever attend! You'll enjoy a full Italian meal, raise a champagne toast, eat the wedding cake and dance the night away at the party you and your friends will be laughing about for years to come. The show stars "Tina," the headstrong 20-something party girl bride with an attitude – and "Tony," the rowdy, handsome, yet charming groom-to-be.
Other hilarious characters emerge from this quirky cast, which includes an entire wedding party of guests ranging from "Connie," the pregnant maid of honor, to "Father Mark," a priest who thinks he's hip. As the evening unfolds, the only guarantee is that there will be plenty of drama all around. Then, it's off to the Tony n' Tina's Wedding reception where wedding singers entertain guests and encourage everyone to dance to standard wedding fare like the infamous chicken dance, the dollar dance and "YMCA."
The New York City/ Broadway production of Tony 'n' Tina's Wedding, which has been a hit since the mid-1980s, is produced by Raphael Berko, who is also the producer of the shows in Las Vegas and San Francisco. He also produced the show at the Hyatt Regency Maui Resort and Spa from 2002-2004, the award winning Orlando production from 2007 – 2008, as well as multiple productions on Norwegian Cruise Lines in Hawaii and the Mediterranean.
There was a young guy who sat at the end of our table (a cast member)...anyway he mentioned that he was an ex-boyfriend of TINA. Ahh, the jealousy of an ex at your wedding. He put on quite an act, acting like the typical jealous ex-boyfriend. We thought for sure he was going to object when the Minister asked for objections but the minister went on too quickly for anyone to object. I'm not telling the story very well. I guess it's one of those things where you'd have to be there to appreciate it. After we got out of the show, Jake hailed a limo for us to take back to our hotel. I had worn heals and my feet were killing me, there was no way I was going to make it walking back up to our hotel.
