When a bride and groom accidentally book their bachelorette and bachelor parties at the same Chili’s, what starts as a night of drinks and celebration spirals into a wildly chaotic comedy of love, lies, and lunacy. As an overbearing mother, a drunken father, and two scheming “friends” conspire to tear the couple apart (complete with fake cheating scandals, a mysterious hickey, and a jaw-dropping musical retelling of their whirlwind romance) the wedding hangs by a thread. Packed with outrageous characters, rapid-fire jokes, and absurd twists, this high-energy farce asks: can true love survive when everyone around you is completely unhinged?
Then following intermission, enjoy our Love on the Rocks Revue
